Could Michael Chavis be our every day third baseman? He was a first round pick so the potential is there. He's got a third-base arm and we know what Perry Hill can do with an average infielder. If he can repeat his .242 average from last year and maintain his power, could be Chapman at a fraction of the cost?
Question: Why is Driveline optional for Mariners's hitters? It seems like every one of them could benefit from the program so why not make it standard?
Driveline can be optimal for every team. They do a good job analyzing a hitter from a mechanical standpoint and emphasizing the right efforts to maximize swings and contact. It's not a magic pill, though.
On Chavis: No. He's a hacker. Has power, but doesn't get to it enough to warrant even a roster spot because he's too busy batting .230 with 33% strikeout rates and a .283 OBP. He's a well below-average 3B glove, too.
