“Vlad reminds me a lot of Kirby [Puckett], but with more pop. Kirby was a free swinger, but [Guerrero] is in a league of his own. I don't think he even has a plan when he goes up there.”

“I know he's a free swinger, but at least half his strikeouts this spring have been looking. That leads me to believe that he's trying to be more aware of the strike zone. He's still going to strike out a high percentage of the time. But he's more cognizant of it, and is trying to get better pitches to hit.”
Tim Purpura
“Like a lot of guys, Pudge has tried to do too much. Yes, he's a free swinger -- to a limit. This year he has expanded his zone.”
Alan Trammell
“You've got to have a good horse, but you've got to have the trip. I think Senor Swinger deserves to be in there. He's a good miler. He's very sharp right now.”
Bob Baffert
“Not scoring in an inning like that can sometimes be a big momentum swinger. But when a guy is locked in like Scotty (Elarton) was, it doesn't matter.”
