Atlanta Braves OF B.J. Upton spent three days earlier this week working with hitting coach Kevin Seitzer on adjustments to his mechanics and approach at the plate, with emphasis on the positioning of the hands. Seitzer was pleased with how productive the sessions were. "I feel really, really good about it, because (Upton) was very open to everything that I suggested," Seitzer said. "We had a really good three days together - three pretty intense days together. I think he feels pretty good about what I'm going to bring, and I feel good about the adjustments he has made."
