Speaking of Slaught, here is one of my favorite references.
Insider: Manny Ramirez Swing Analysis - ESPN Video - ESPN
Stop it at the 5:45 mark and take a look at the position of Manny's back elbow and lead forearm. Notice his hands are still at his back shoulder and they have not yet turned the corner. Also notice the pitch location is below the belt. Did anyone see Manny's front elbow move forward toward the pitcher as if were going up a ramp in response to the back elbow lowering. Or, is it possible that the movement of the front elbow forward is a result of shoulder rotation, and not caused by the back elbow slotting?
