This is the one thing most people on here know I stress -- work them, make the pitcher tired and get to the pen early.
If you look at Lind and Rasmus, most of their failures at the plate has been as a result of a decrease in walks -- I hope Mottola can work with these two and get them to work the count, especially Lind who he actually got to walk (shocking) in Triple A last year-- 15 walks in 32 games, helped him have an obp over .400. Obviously he wont have the same success, but he has potential.
