Winn pops out to 3rd

Well geez, not to burst the bubble, but Uggla had 21 HR and an .880 OPS in AA last year.

 

Theriot has had 5 minor league HRs in his 6 year career and had a minor league OPS going into this year at .686

 

In all fairness, as Tim and others have pointed out, Theriot had a two year attempt at switch hitting that failed miserably and depressed his numbers significantly.

I wonder, what are the chances of Riot being our answer at 2B? Looks like Hill has been pitching very well today, very good to see.

 

Love what Hill has done thus far, IMO, in 2007, he'll be as good, if not better than his SF counter-part today.

True, I did read about that, but I don't think he is capable of putting up Dan Uggla power. I do believe he can be an asset to a major league team however.

I picked up Lowry for my fantasy team yesterday because I needed a win to maintain first place. Irony is a cruel mistress.

In all fairness to Neifi Perez, he has had an eleven year attempt at switch hitting that failed miserably and depressed his numbers significantly.

Let The Riot play out the rest of the year, see what he can do. He may be the next Uggla, he may not be. You'll only find out if you let him play.

OK, so maybe Uggla was a poor example. The Riot has shown an ability to get on base though as evidenced by his +.400 obp this year. Not saying that keep up but who knows, let the kid play.

Web gem for Cedeno!

Heh, I don't think switch hitting is the problem there....:)

When's the last time a cub pitcher looked this good?

Description please?

 

Diving stop to his left, followed by calmly getting up, making a good throw, and getting the easy out.

6.0IP, 2H, BB, 2K, 75/53

Dear Rich, how about a couple of quick innings for the Cubs first CG??

[Balsa]

Looking at Gameday, I just realized that there have been only TWO balls batted to the right side by the Giants today, and neither very far from CF....

Jones grounds out

Mark Prior looked pretty good before he let his sideburns go.

Take your pick Hill on the 1st (vs. ARZ) or 6th (vs. PIT)

Man, what a great feeling it is to see the kids play good. Here's hoping we have something in Theriot, Guzman, and Hill.
