Adaptability

So, J.D. Drew says he is hitting gangbusters this season, as opposed to not hitting gangbusters last season, b/c this season David Ortiz is injured. Last season, following Ortiz in the batting order, Drew had to deal with the massive holes Ortiz digs in the batters box. Drew likes his feet very near or in the areas of Ortiz' massive holes, and the massive holes made it more difficult for Drew to hit effectively.

Could this be a legitimate complaint?

Yes! A thousand times YES!

Holes in batters boxes suck eggs.

I liked my foot mostly in the very back of the box. There, it was generally anchored on level, little disturbed ground. Unfortunately, my front foot had to be in all kinds of funky positions. Often it would be on the ridge between the two holes where most batters stood in batters boxes(especially during Freshman and JV baseball, when fields were sporadically maintained).
