Adrian Gonzalez had a respectable season, but he's looking to spend some time away from a bat in order to cure bad habits at the plate.

"I'll definitely take time off hitting-wise to let all those bad habits get away from me," he said. "If I start hitting too soon, they'll never go away."

Gonzalez hit .299 with 18 home runs and 108 RBI, ending the season on a 15-game hitting streak, but he never felt right.

"There always seems to be a piece missing," he said. "Sometimes I'm not behind the ball. Sometimes I'm not through it. It doesn't all flow. When the pieces are there, my timing's not right."
