Brignac has the talent to be an above-average major league shortstop, and all he needs is to relax and get a regression back to the mean in terms of luck and he'll be fine. Expect him to at least manage his .256/.307/.385 line from 2010 this coming season because he's nowhere near as bad as he was in 2011. Rodriguez will get his opportunities, but Brignac is the better player and by mid-season he'll be the starting SS against both lefties and righties most of the time. @DevonRogers The uppercut swing was a product of his frustration from a season where no matter how hard he hit the ball (and his line drive percentage was 2.5% above the league average at 20.5%), he could not buy a hit.
