Always interesting to watch the batting averages develop in the Eastern League. The batters are ice cold in the spring when it's, well, ice cold, and gradually warm until the weather's steaming.
ReplyDeleteI can't for the life of my figure out why Hector Sanchez was brought up. So far he's just been a wasted roster spot. I would really rather see him continue to get playing time in the minors at this point.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on Sanchez, although if you remember Buster Posey's first callup, the Giants seem to believe that with catching prospects there is benefit to just watching and learning from observing so this may be part of that thinking.
