I love his approach at the plate, the way he uses the whole field. It looks like he takes every at-bat seriously. He's going to be a really good hitter.
More Quotes from Butch Wynegar:
I wish I had an answer for it.Butch Wynegar
I didn't feel like Carlos got it going in the second half the way I know he can. I think (the home run derby) might have had something to do with it. To me, Carlos is a .300 hitter. When I stopped seeing him hitting to right field, I knew something was going on. He had trouble even in batting practice. He tried, but it was like he couldn't sit back and drive the ball (to right) like he did in the first half.

I look for him to have a monster year.

I don't want us to live and die by the home run. Home runs are nice, they're beautiful things and everything, no doubt. But the winning clubs are the ones that do the little things, too.

It looks like we have good approaches to get guys on base, then we seem to tense up. I'll talk to them about it but it's not something you can teach. You've got to stay relaxed and realize it's the pitcher who's in trouble, not you.

I hate to say it, because I'm not a big believer in turning the switch on and off, but if there's one guy who I think could do it, it's Carlos. In his mind, he knows these are Spring Training games, and when it's Opening Day, I think the light bulb will come on. I'm not worried about him.
