Remember, they called Anthony Rizzo’s and Jose Bautista’s swings “overhauled” when in fact they made minor adjustments that made huge differences… Rizzo in 2011 batted .141 with 46 Ks in 128 ABs and we saw what his 2012 adjustments did along with cutting his strikeout rate in half in just one year… I’ll be interesting to see how B-Jax does come spring.

Only if Robin Yount is coaching for the Cubs.

Always thought Jackson swing should be downward rather than upward hitting on top of the ball would make him a better contact hitter

I thought the exact same thing after the first line of the article…

I hope his workouts with Dale Sveum don’t involve quail hunting.

His swing could possibly be in the best shape of its life this coming year.

Only time will tell if the changes are effective. If he hits less homers but bats around .300 or better I would say its a victory
