The difference in his approach so far this season is night and day - he is swinging at everything in the strike zone. That may end up being an over compensation and whether it works for him once pitchers are in midseason form I can't say, but he has certainly taken the idea of 'look for ball, hit ball' to a level he never practiced before. Any worry that he may still be in a 'refuse to change' mode can be put to rest. Even if he's not a better hitter, he is a different hitter. Edited March 12 by gehringer_2 2 1 Quote

I saw him go to the opposite field with one of his home runs. Love to see that! 1 Quote

I pretty much gave up on him, and although I’m not exactly a credible observer, I am happy to be proven wrong. I gave up on Tork and Mize. I'd consider either of them turning it around to be a huge bonus, let alone both of them. 2 Quote

Casey still has command issues to iron out. By my informal count he was into the 2nd before he landed his first breaking ball for a strike. But he battle through the walks without losing his cool and that's progress too. 1 Quote
