Just got through viewing the movie 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven' from a friend's suggestion.
Whoa, Nellie! It's got me counting my blessings.

You Have To Be Almost Mental To Be A Hitter
or at lest 70% mental according my formula, and 15% physical as well as 15% visual.
The gist of what I was telling a parent this morning...Once the eye hand coordination for hitting is developed along with having a slot position swing ingrained into muscle memory...it's all mental approach and confidence from there.
I'm going to list the websites that I feel will be the most helpful to hitters learning the three components to successful hitting: Mental, Physical, and Visual.
MENTAL:
dpbichampionshiphittingblog.blogspot.com
My blog site to help hitters learn how to use Timing Activation and recycling to become confident and use controlled aggression to become a successful hitter.
PHYSICAL:
http://theswingmechanic.com/
Jaime Cevallos' website to learn how the MP30 and MP28 Training bats can facilitate learning the SLOT POSITION SWING.
VISION:
http://www.slowthegamedown/
Dr. Bill Harrison and Ryan Harrison's website to learn Dynamic Hitting Vision using fine centering and soft centering.
Being confident and aggressive in each swing at the plate will bring you success as a hitter in every level that you play the game.~DTP

"Throws Like A Girl"
Funny how that sounds, but you can't say that about fast pitch softball pitchers. Whether they use windmill, the whip, etc., these gals AND guys can bring it...seemingly with ease. That's not surprising seeing that throwing underhand is the most natural way of throwing due to the way the human body is built which allows for a better range of motion, and throwing overhand is really not a natural movement at all due to a limited range of motion... despite it being possible to learn.
Overhand pitchers haven't had a 'hazardous to your arm health' warning label attached to them yet, but IF the percentage of injured MLB starters during a season keeps rising (currently at 50%), expect to see an influx of submarine style pitchers in big league uniforms in the future.

THE TRADE
In what will be now known as 'The Trade'...at least for awhile:
Somebody asked me what I thought about "the trade".
My response was, "Sorry, I haven't gotten up off the floor yet."

MLB GMs Are Willing To Play Russian Roulette For Starting Pitchers This Winter
Or why not to go to Vegas with some of the more desperate general managers.
Maybe it is the end times when you see what some of the teams are willing to spend on proven and even unproven starting pitchers (Garza, Tanaka, etc.). I can understand paying pitchers with sound mechanics like Kershaw, C. Lee, Verlander, and a few others what they are worth ("fair"market value)...they are less likely to break down and can be projected to have lengthy careers, but the majority of free agent pitchers that are available this winter DO NOT fit in that category. Yet, they are probably going to see a big pay day because the GMs have over valued their worth and are driving the prices higher with the bidding wars. It is a very predictable outcome when you know what's going to happen to these pitchers next season. I just had to get this off my chest as I've reached my frustration level already with this winter's hot stove league.
Common sense & good judgment are dead, and insanity reigns in MLB.

Los Angeles Dodgers Newly Signed Cuban INF Alexander Guerrero
Alexander Guerrero
Bats Right, Throws Right
Height 5' 11", Weight 205 lb.
Born December 20, 1986
The Dodgers have signed Cuban shortstop Alexander Guerrero to
a four-year, $28 million deal. It’ll be interesting to see him adapt to second
base. He has good hands as a fielder and seems to approach grounders well with
a keen instinct for fielding them on the short hop.
He has an above average arm, but uses multiple arm angles and
feeds instead of staying on top with his throws. My first thought after
watching him was that he could give Domingo Ayala a lesson or two on crazy
flips and throws. The Dodgers will make efforts to break him from his throwing
habits or make sure there’s plenty of mustard on hand for his games.
As a hands hitter, I’m surprised at how much bat speed
Alexander generates. He had some decent power stats while he played in Cuba. Hands
hitters that swing for power generally aren’t as consistent of a hitter as compared to a
slot position hitter. His batting average over the years reflects that, but he has some pop when he does connect.
I envision him
struggling with major league pitching if he stays with his current approach and
swing. All the above being said, I can’t wait to see what he looks like in
Spring Training 2014.
