Off-topic: "It's the team's at bat."

This is why Boston and NY have been winners, and why the Cubs will be (I believe--eventually). It's also why the Royals won't be---unless there's a change going on behind the scenes that has been unapparent to all of us here at RR. Ironically, I have more confidence in Seitzer's ability to do this with willing young talent than Jaramillo in Chicago. - TL

Jaramillo has a great rep

I’d say he’s probably the most well-respected hitting coach in the game, or at least one of the few.

Yea, I’d love to see this attitude in KC. If Seitzer can get this team to draw walks, he should get his own statue out in right field.

As I've observed...

…Jaramillo first-hand over the past season or so, he doesn’t emphasize “seeing pitches” as much as I’d have thought. He’s obviously doing something right; there’s more than one way to score runs and fill up the counting stats.

Seitzer has a long way to go before he gets a rep like Jaramillo’s, but it seems that he’s on his way.

"Sir,--It has been wittily remarked that there are three kinds of falsehood: the first is a 'fib,' the second is a downright lie, and the third and most aggravated is statistics." *The National Observer* (June 13, 1891): p. 93-94.
