Ron Fairly on the broadcast last night, talking about Smoak (paraphrasing):
' I've always said, it's going to take 1500, 2000 at bats to learn how to hit. There are exceptions to this, sure. But if you've got the talent, it just takes time and repetitions'.
Something along those lines. Smoak's sitting on about 750 AB's, combined minor and major leagues. And of course college, with metal bats...
Sometimes it takes time. The AGone and Tino comps are good. I'm encouraged by the overall consensus that the mechanics and underlying ability are very sound.
