Well, [expletive], as if I needed another reason to like Rizzo. I know it's venturing into intangibles territory, but I'd love to see a guy like that become the leader of the team for a long, long time.
On the upside, during the last two weeks he has more walks than strikeouts and going in to tonight his OBP for the last week was .350. Growing pains? Nice baserunning by LaHair.
All I'm saying is Casey Coleman and Blake DeWitt are so valuable they're invaluable. Teams should be glad we're willing to include them as throw-ins. Reed is one of the league leaders in WAG (wins above grit). FACT. Ditto.
