He was taking strikes on the inside corner and flailing away at pitches way out of the zone, down and away.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think the Cubs messed with his approach a bit once he started slumping. They wanted him being a little more aggressive rather than taking hittable strikes, then all of a sudden he started swinging at a lot of first pitches. He really looked like the guy we first got today, just in his comfort level at the plate.

How do the Chinese pitchers compare to ML pitching? Are they AAAA? AAA? AA? Any idea? Because I expect Fuk would be pretty comfortable against AAA or lower pitching.
