I normally don’t like to deal in the rumor trade, but friend of FG.com Twins Territory has posted a report saying that, apparently, the Twins have their eyes on a college outfielder by the name of Brett Jackson.

Apparently the Yankees and Giants also like him, and he has 20/10 vision. Sounds good, right?

Well, look at this picture:

Look at his body. Note that a good hitter has his head directly above his ass throughout his swing.

Intelligent reader Thrylos recently pointed out that a balance problem exactly like this one could very well be the problem with Delmon Young.

Oh, and another thing! If his vision is so good … what’s he doing swinging at that pitch? Is his unwillingness to take a bad pitch the reason for the Twins’ interest, or is it his lack of a power stroke?

This is me hoping some other team makes a mistake on drafting Jackson. The Yankees or Giants may be able to fix his swing; I know for a fact that the Twins won’t be able to.
