Where's the Improvement?

Jon Shields is not jumping on the Yuniesky Betancourt bandwagon:

Yuni put up a vital line of .279/.289/.405 over the first 70 games of the season under the tutelage of hitting coaches Jeff Pentland and Lee Elia. In the 74 games since Castro arrived on the scene Yuni has put up a line of .261/.290/.348. What improvement?

Betancourt is showing more plate discipline but not hitting the ball as hard. One would hope that if his plate discipline continues to improve, the power will come from swinging at batter pitches.
