R.I.P. Felix Pie's Career (2001-April 20, 2008)

[Tracer Bullet]

I thought Neyer was being sarcastic with CPatt comment, but he wasn't.

 

It might not help to keep Pie in the minors to change his swing. But it didn't work to keep CPatt at the major leagues and give him at bats, either.

 

So I guess there's no way that will work.

 

Well, you could not mess with a guy's swing when he's had success at all levels. CPatt didn't have as much success in the minors, but Pie's had quite a bit, especially after making adjustments at each level. I'm not sure why Lou's hell bent on changing things with young players that have had success in the minors. If you have to make an adjustment to how you're being pitched, that's one thing. But sounds like they're making big changes to Pie's swing.

 

..which may be proven by his abysmal start in Iowa. I mean in nearly a thousand PAs at Iowa he was hitting over .300 with power. This has to be the biggest slump of his minor league career.

 

maybe. then again, it's been 10 games.

they should send Pie down to AA to work on fixing his swing so he can hit at AAA to fix his swing so he can hit in the majors
