i kind of think it was necessary i mean i i i i don 't i 'm not a a big um pure power hitter anyway i mean i don 't like these guys that get up there and swing for the downs every time i mean uh i think that uh that a player ought to hit a home run if he 's got the pitch to do it but when you get two strikes on you you have a tendency you know you should you know shorten your swing a little bit you know if it 's a perfect shot go for it but i mean you know the strike outs were a big problem for him and uh plus supposedly what i heard he was not much of a team player anyway so
He had only a couple of strike outs the whole season .
