Will Dixon get necessary confidence from baseball?

Oregon Ducks QB Dennis Dixon, drafted earlier this year by the Atlanta Braves, is playing baseball this summer, rather than working out with his team. Brian Meehan of The Oregonian says that the experience will help Dixon gain confidence on the football field. I still don't see how that is. Dixon's confidence is already shaken after last year. And, his baseball stats aren't that impressive either: .179 batting average, with 6 RBI's in 67 at-bats in 25 games total. How will that help him again? I'm sorry Brian, it won't help him improve in football or in bonding with teammates in Eugene.
