A quick search uncovered this article by Alex Pavlovic (http://www.csnbayarea.com/giants/tomlinson-still-fit-giants-put-bench-together). <br /><br />In one paragraph he wrote this, "Tomlinson’s seven pinch-hits were tied for second on the team after Gillaspie’s 11. He was 7-for-17 in a pinch, adding three walks. Tomlinson’s simple swing and up-the-middle approach have proven perfect for important spots. He’s a .315 career hitter with runners in scoring position, a .373 hitter in situations baseball-reference deems 'late and close,' and a .367 hitter in 'high leverage' spots."<br /><br />I'll take those numbers any day all day! And what's more, the Gs had enough confidence in the kid last year to play him in games 1 (started at 2B), 2 (subbed in at 3B), and 3 in the NLDS. <br />Nutz4RVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997800352962687317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-62654227051023981052017-03-11T09:24:35.073-08:002017-03-11T09:24:35.073-08:00Praying for Bettis, horrible news for a bright you...Praying for Bettis, horrible news for a bright young player.johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099994633599576200noreply@blogger.com
