Posted by BillR on 6/11/2003, 4:53 pm, in reply to "Hirsch's Wed Analysis of Bagwell..." "My thought on Bagwell? I think the shoulder was as good as it was going to get coming out of spring training; it didn't bother him much the first month of the season, but now it's regressing again and interfering with his swing." Seems logical to me. Last winter during all their baseball season preview segments, ESPN ran a clip of Bagwell throwing home, with his elbow firmly planted against his side, what we would have called "throwing like a girl" when I was a kid. On the strength of that clip alone, I was able to deal Larry Walker for Bagwell in February, and on the strength of Bagwell's April, I was able to deal him for Magglio Ordonez. I am no expert, but as one who has seen many Houston games lately (that MLB package is worth every penny), it looks like there is more then a simple slump happening here.
I think what was written by Chris is the most probable explanation for what is going on with Bagwell.
