I think guys like EE, Jose and JD got to the bigs and had success with a certain approach and that deviating too much from that may actually make things worse.
I think you can win with a bunch of different approaches, what is key is execution of that. Right now they aren't executing.
I see them missing very hittable pitches. I also see some bad luck. But more the former. They aren't driving balls that they should be. That's execution more than approach.

Someone else made a similar comment in this thread, and it really isn't true.
Players adjust all the time. And they develop as hitters. They learn how to hit different pitches and in different situations, or they don't make it to the bigs.
Suggesting they have a particular approach and can't/shouldn't adjust is misleading to the point of being just wrong.
