The irony of the Hatteberg/Votto story is that most people didn't think Hatteberg could hit in the majors, and some still don't.
Without knowing who the scout is, It is very hard to give his opinion any credibility.
Swings are not always pretty to watch. As long as the swing works for the player, keep it.
When can we see Votto in Cincinnati? I wince every time I see Hatteberg or Conine swing the bat.
