Got my first look at the "new" Saunders last night, like most of us. Me trying to analyze his swing would be like a beer hall bully commenting on Seal Team Six's execution of the Bin Laden raid.
But one thing is for certain. His attitude at the plate has been transformed. It's amazing what a little success will breed. The deer in the headlights has been replaced by a vicious grizzly intent on doing damage. I mean, I was really taken aback by the degree of aggressiveness bordering on swagger as he was settling into the box in his first at bat.
I suppose the permanence of the attitudinal transformation will be revealed when he endures the inevitable slump. But the comments on his swing mechanics make me think there's hope that he's really turned a corner. His pure athletic talent has always been undeniable.
