Dejan Kovacevic reports on the ongoing development of Rob Mackowiak. I noticed some of these trends last week. Now Kovacevic explains what appears to be the basis for Mackowiak's improved plate discipline, and he notes that others have noticed the overall drop in power. Mackowiak has had some extra-base hits in the last week, though I'm not sure if that's been an indication of his power coming around. I'll follow up on that May 15 post sometime early in June.
Kovacevic also reports that Mackowiak has taken over third base against righties. Back in early January we speculated that this might or should happen. Wigginton has been a good part-time player.
This same notebook column describes the respect Ian Snell has earned from McClendon.
...Joe Rutter remembers the day Rob's son, Garrett, was born.
