Delgado's swing...Mota's deep fried...Green just sucks!

OK...that's it for me boys.  After last night's loss to Peavy and the Padres (a game where Brian Lawrence pitched well enough to keep us in the game), I have lost all faith and hope in Mota, and more sadly Delgado.  I just threw Green into the subject line because he's been hopless all season...and LoDuca could probably be on this list to but I just like the guy, he's blue-collar.

I'm not sure why, but Delgado has looked LOST at the plate all season.  He rarely puts good swings or makes good contact on the ball anymore.  And all you need to see to know how lost he is, was his strike out last night to end the game.

0-2 and he awkwardly swings at a bad pitch and sends his bat flying past the mound.  I mean it just looked like he's giving up.  Like, "F' it man!  I have no idea what I'm doing up here!"

If you ask me, he's lost bad speed, and completely lost his repeatable swing.  The guy needs to change his approach and mentality at the plate...and I really think he's got WAY too many parts moving before the pitch is delivered.  When you lose bad speed, you don't see the ball well, and you move around that much...you're not going to be able to produce a consistent swing.

Here's what I'm proposing and I know it's drastic, but hear me out.  They should give him 2 weeks off.  2 weeks to just stay away from the game, the media, and the pressure. And 2 weeks for HoJo to work with him exclusively on quieting his swing, closing his stance a bit, keeping his hands a little higher and much quieter, and concentrating on having his top-hand drive the bat through the zone.  He should only try and hit the ball up the middle and to left, and NOWHERE else!  

I am telling you, you watch any good hitter come back from a slump and what's the first thing they do...they go to the opposite field or up the middle.  They hit the ball where it's pitched, they stay calmer and quiter and just concentrate on good contact in the zone.  This is the hitter Delgado needs to become at this point, and I'd be willing to bet that once he can repeat a good swing consistently, he'd start to hit for power again in due time.  

So, what do you guy's think?  Am I nuts?  Or do I sound like a genius?  And oh yeah,...Mota needs to go!
