Matt, I wonder the same thing about Zduriencik's acquistions, at least the ones prior to this offseason (Morse and Morales see to have "it"). Wells didn't have it. Carp had briefly and then promptly lost it. Smoak had it for a month-plus his first full year and then lost it. Ackley had it and then lost it. Montero has yet to really show it. Seager showed it in flashes last year; we'll see if last night's big hit is a harbinger of things to come this year, because he hasn't had it so far. There reallyl isn't a single one of Z's offensive acquisitions that has enjoyed the kind of success where you feel hugely confident that you have a major cog in the wheel of perennial contention. And yet we keep hearing that he prefers dirt dogs who eat-live-sleep baseball. I don't know how to reconcile all that, and I hope it turns out to be just a blip on the radar as time goes on.
