My 2 cents
- Glaus seems to have a really good eye. 3rd fewest swings in the league last year? Nice. I'll take a disciplined .260 hitter smashing 25 HR over a free-swinger any day.
- The balls on Rolen's chart are all over the place.
I was (and still am) a huge Scott Rolen fan, but this move is enough to give me hope for the St. Louis Cardinals next year. Which sucks, because that will just lead to disappointment. I've always liked Glaus. He always seems to end up on my fantasy team, and produces when healthy.

Great link
From the Glaus graph seems they like to pitch him away, nice to see he has the eye to lay off.

That being said, the data does correlate with what most of us saw this year RE: Rolen's inability to hit inside fastballs.
