Magglio's suddenly slump with the bate is making big headlines in Detroit as he was left out of the line-up a couple of times this week. Indeed, two hits in twenty turns at-bats tell us that his current form is going through a bad spell which does not do justice to his true talent as he is my book the best hitter of the ball I have seen since Roberto Clemente graced the baseball fields in Major League Baseball. Nevertheless, drawing from my direct personal experiences as a player and coach I am absolutely convinced that Magglio's temporarily loss of form will be redressed in a couple of games as he is a man who has the discipline and determination to sort out his present predicament with the help of the batting coach personnel.  Notwithstanding, I would say to those who find faults with magglio's form to be a bit more tolerant since most hitters suffer at one time or another loss of form. Moreover, it does not mean, by any stretch of the imagination, that this current spell will be a thorn in his side forever since he is far much stronger than that, especially, when the world and its misery issues him challenges. Certainly, Magglio is not only a classy chap on and off the field but he is fun to watch too and I am fully confident that he will recover his form soon as he stretches his ability to the utmost and start breaking every record out there for he has got far too much talent to keep him down for long. Yes, I am very proud to be not only a fan of Magglio Ordoñez but a compatriot too as he is already a legend in my books.
