His bat speed is as good as I've ever seen it. But it isn't a matter of getting back to where he was 13 years ago. It's a matter of being the best that he can be right now, and he is.
Junior sets a good example with the way he works in BP. He hits the ball all over. He could pull everything and hit long home runs. But he works on driving the ball to left and center. Adam (Dunn) and (Austin) Kearns have picked up on that.
That's the good part. When he returns, we'll get him as many at-bats as we can. Hitters are able to get ready faster than pitchers.
When Wily Mo sees the ball well, he makes good decisions as far as balls and strikes. Wily works at it. He wants to get better.
