That's "SWAYM" |
''I do my due diligence and video work and prepare as much as anybody,'' Sveum said before he was hired. ''As far as the stats, those are what they are, and we can use them to our advantage. It's a big part of the game now. It's helping us win a lot of ballgames, the stats and the matchups. That's just part of the game now, and you use what you can.''
Taking advantage of stats and matchups...so no more equating drawing walks with "clogging the bases"? No more batting a low OBP guy in the leadoff spot because that's where he's "comfortable"? No more putting a thoroughly average hitter (career OPS+ of 100) in the middle of the order every day? Wow - if this is true, I can sum up my thoughts on this hire in two words (no, not those two words):
