any way shelley duncan can play first base ? we’re gonna need someone there over the next few years
Jon Hovis is really good…
Shelley can play first about as well as Giambi can
Tabata is hittin .400 any chance of a AA promotion in the near future
if shelley duncan keeps this up they should move him back over to 1st … if tabata is hitting anywhere like this come june his ass better be in AA
whats going on with miranda? I thought he was supposed to be mature well beyond A ball, his 12 k’s in 11 games dont suggest that.
He’s a power first guy, so he’ll always K a bunch, and never really hit for a high average.
Is Troy Glaus a bad player? Miranda has a decent change of becoming that kind of guy.
