Just thought it was interesting how twisted around Watson got on that swing and then how far he extends afterward. Hard to do and maintain any type of control, but obviously he can, and that reminds me of Ackley. Ichiro and Fukudome are others that strike me from memory as having particularly coiled up and whipped around swings.
Don't really follow golf closely and I'm not about to get into Doc's realm of motion dynamics or whatever he calls it, but was just throwing it out there.
I think Vinnie is an elite prospect, and loved watching him develop this year. I have reservations about him making it at 3b (errors), and as a RH hitter at Safeco, but I love having him in the org.
And given that we've now seen Carp, Wilhelmsen and Delabar completely transform themselves physically while retaining what got them into baseball in the first place, you have to have hope for all kinds of potential plateau-leaps going forward. (Saying that in regard to making himself a better 3b and/or a guy who won't get eaten alive by the Safe.)
