Compared to last spring? Different hitter. This hitter....hits.

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.

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

It would be really huge if Tork could keep this up into the regular season. 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.

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.
