Different players different makeup.

Scouting Report—Rizzo is a big swinging kid with great hand-eye coordination and a very likable personality.

He was diagnosed with Lymphoma early on in the 2008 season and missed the rest of that year, and part of the ’09 season, while undergoing treatment. He has been cancer-free since then and has not stopped hitting since.

Early on in his development, Rizzo was a go-the-other-way type hitter who would lace pitches into the left-center field gap. Last year he learned how to turn on inside pitches and hit them out of the ballpark. As is the case with most power hitters, he tends to use that approach too much and will swing and miss a lot more often.

Still, his power numbers have increased dramatically and he now has the look of a middle of the order power hitter that the Padres lost in Adrian Gonzalez.

Rizzo will find that major league pitchers won’t allow him to work the count and tee up on fastballs the way he has in AAA. He will be worked over on the inside part of the plate, which will tie him up quite a bit.

Still, this kid has demonstrated the ability to adjust to all kinds of adversity; there is plenty of reason to project him as a star-quality player for many years to come.

2011 Analysis—The Padres organization are asking themselves, “Adrian, who?” after Rizzo’s AAA breakout this season. He has rightfully earned his promotion to San Diego and will likely be a fixture there for a long time.

This season, however, is going to be one of adjustments for the young slugger. He will quickly learn that big league pitchers won’t let him get ahead in the count time after time and sit on low-grade fastballs.

His swing will need to be calmed down a bit as he has developed too hard of a swing that forces him to briefly lose eye contact with the pitch. This will not go over well in the big leagues.

Still, Rizzo has prodigious power and when he makes contact the ball will go a long way. There will be plenty of run production from him this season, which will warrant him with strong consideration for a spot on a fantasy team.

Every single player makes adjustments? Ha. You're not worth my time. And don't tell me what I would have said. If I thought that I would have said it.

Maybe one day you'll figure out you just can't compare minor league numbers. Maybe.

You respond to my every post in every thread. Don't kid yourself.

Yes, every player makes adjustments. Success varies. No player has ever refused to try different things to find success and achieve a major league career.

Again: You don't know shit. What are you - an associate scout? You might as well be the guy that flies for lunch.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?
