Baseball Time in Arlington wonders about Ian Kinsler’s swing. It’s become more of an uppercut:

The reason I mention all of this is because there appears to be an existing school of thought positing that Kinsler’s abysmal batted-ball statistics — including line drive/fly ball/ground ball rate and BABIP — will naturally regress back towards the mean, and that with that regression will come a pronounced offensive rebound. Perhaps that is exactly what will end up coming to pass, but here’s the million-dollar question: if that perceived, albeit subtle change in his swing plane isn’t corrected, is he going to remain exactly where he is right now production-wise, or (even worse) begin to emulate Hank Blalock’s career path?

The post also notes Kinsler should be at his peak right now.
