I'm having a hard time getting worked up over anything he does on the field down there.
He’s walking into a league midseason after probably not facing live pitching since September, so it’s unfair to expect him to hit the cover off the ball. And he showed up late enough that he’ll only play in a little more than a dozen games, so by the time he gets acclimated, it’ll be time to go home.
I know the Brewers wanted him to play winter ball, but if his stint is going to be this short it hardly seems worth the effort.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
