I'm expecting an offense that isn't routinely shut down by guys making their debut.

I'm expecting an offense that doesn't look clueless against soft-tossin' lefties.

I'm expecting an offense that works harder at hitting to all fields.

I'm expecting an offense that's able to alter its approach depending on who's pitching (moving up in the box, choking up, etc.)

I'm expecting a guy like Gordon Beckham to be better than what he's shown.

I'm expecting Adam Dunn to at least be a .230 hitter.

There's a lot of stuff wrong with our hitting that I think can be better addressed by someone else.  It has nothing to do with talent, it's all about the approach.  Walker has failed.

I think some of our "talent" is not so talented, but I do agree with you about Walker.
