However, based on his entire career, I think you're much more likely to see 2013 Lagares than 2014 Lagares. Nothing in his history suggests that the "good" Lagares is truly who he is.Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-5134811455034007332016-01-08T14:00:39.362-05:002016-01-08T14:00:39.362-05:00My 2 cents -

Therefore it will be difficult for Lagares to get into any kind of hitting groove if he's relegated to batting against the occasional lefty who constitute only about 10% of the population (perhaps a bit more in baseball).

He needs to decide that he nees an approach----and he needs to find one that works for him. Understanding His Pitch and some degree of recognition would go a long way in joining his talent to better production.<br /><br />Talented Guys who compete and struggle go one way or the other as they settle in---I'm hoping that we see a few NEW AB's for Juan early on---I'm tired of looking at his Old AB's.eraffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493607580550078769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-86505586815582203572016-01-08T10:20:06.564-05:002016-01-08T10:20:06.564-05:00I think the good Juan shows up this year.
