"I think the guys are starting to swing better, especially guys we are going to rely on this year, getting more comfortable in the box," manager Andy Green said. "Sometimes what they're asked to do early in camp, probably had their wheels turning a little, it was stuff they hadn't been exposed to with [hitting coach] Alan [Zinter] and now it seems like those guys are really buying in and we're seeing results."
