Really interesting thread. Reminds me why I love this site. Two thoughts:
- SOME players, like Matt Carpenter, Cardinal leadoff hitter, should swing. Great eyes and able to foul them off.
- ANY leadoff hitter at PG Jupiter should swing - because I THINK scouts prefer aggressive hitters over passive hitters.
If that second one is true, PG - shouldn't we coach them when they're young - to swing?
