And ONLY 2 walks! <br /><br />Honestly, right now Bernadina looks like a better lead-off hitter with his 6 walks. <br /><br />In any case I can't see Desmond lasting through May. And if Rendon puts up the kind of numbers he is expected to? And Kobernus in Harrisburg after last season's 50+ steals? Not sure where Zachary Walters fits but certainly one can hope for massive pressure from the minor league system. Sure looks like AAA Syracuse could feature some mashing ...<br /><br />3. Espinosa actually looks like he is improving. But I don't think he should be batting second. Looking at the hitters I would say that role belongs to DeRosa if he is a starter on opening day. His stats appear to support his ability to handle that spot.<br /><br />4. Ramos just hasn't been the same since the kidnapping. While Jesus Flores has gone in the opposite direction. I note that Davey has been playing Flores an awful lot ... basically alternating with Ramos. Have to wonder if that continues into the season? Flores did something he was adverse to earlier ... he walked twice. <br /><br />As Davey put it. Lots of tough decisions ... he isn't as confident in his original lineup as he was at the beginning of ST.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-76375257968361769342012-03-25T19:34:42.748-04:002012-03-25T19:34:42.748-04:00First off Werth parks behind right field.
Second ...First off Werth parks behind right field.<br /><br />Second off....aside ftom the switch being hit, there are things I would love to see happen in the next 10 days. 1. Ian Desmond has to figure out how to fight off strike 3 when faced with a 3-2 count instead of hoping the close pitch gets called ball 4. 2. Danny Espinosa has to learn how to let the off speed breaking pitch that scrapes the ground go when batting left handed. And 3. Wilson Ramos has to drive the ball up the middle instead of rolling everything over to the left side.<br /><br />Aside from that, I'm ready for Spring Training to be over. 21 games in 29 days while maintaining a job sure can wear out a 65 year old.
