Felix Pie, via The Baltimore Sun, talking about Terry Crowley: "The Felix Pie that everybody sees right now, that is because this guy made that person." And later, Terry Crowley on Felix Pie: "He’s shown us that he can hit for an average, and he’s shown us that he’s got power."
Felix Pie has a .304 OBP and a 4.1% walk rate in 2010. In 2009, he walked 8.5% of the time. In his short Cubs career, he walked 8.4% of the time. Across parts of 8 minor league seasons, he walked 7.4% of the time. Note that Terry didn't say "He's shown us that he can get on base." I like Felix, and I think he can still become a good player. But has he really made the kind of progress that is a good thing to attribute to the hitting coach?
