The "Theriot switch-hitting experiment" is a very good example of a reason to look beyond the stats, I admit. But you would have to admit that that is a unique, very rare situation. To my knowledge, Colvin doesn't have anything remotely that weird that would be an excuse for driving his stats down.
OTOH, as Soto proved a few years ago, a dramatic weight gain/loss can really turn on a switch, and Colvin adding major muscle is a big deal. So let's hope he can lay off the tricky out-of-the-zone pitches, because if he can, he's proven that he can drive the ball.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
