Think how good this team can be with Ace playing up to his potential.

Reminds me of Palmeiro's junior season. Raffy only hit .300 in '85. His numbers dropped significantly from his sophomore to junior year. Not saying this is what we're seeing with Ace but he needs to get going.
He needs to quit trying to bang dingers every AB and just get a hit. I watched him in Biloxi dam near every swing was a a golf swing. On his Grand Slam he got lucky when he scooped that ball out of the dirt. He is batting 2nd. where he has one job, move the runner over. Of Course Teel gots to get on also. But he will start getting the hits. I kinda wish he was batting 5th and Woodson was 2nd. But thats just my emotional dumbass opinion.
