Another completely unique lineup....... the 76th used by Sveum in 114 games.

Potentially a back of rotation type guy if everything works out. So I guess more somewhere inbetween. Yeah, I was going to say somewhere in between too. Thanx, I appreciate the perspective.

Saturday's second game is the makeup from the rainout on Tues 01 May.

Somebody help me out here 'cause I don't follow the minors..... is Raley a real prospect, or just roster filler ?
