    He looked great his first time through the lineup the last 2 starts so I've been scared to say anything tonight.

    How long's it been since you've had a big, thick steaming bowl of 2-out rally? Well, that's too long.

    Very solid in the field and on the bases. Gets swing-happy sometimes trying to hit everything to the Moon but has also shown really good plate discipline at times, as far as not swinging at crap he can't hit. Bit of a drop off defensively from Straw maybe, but it's kind of a wash. We'll see how he does with more regular PT.

    Diaz's arm seemed better than average on that throw.

    Do stats back it up?

    Kendall Graveman is a professional relief pitcher

    That is all

    Small sample size but Click needs to do everything he can to retain Graveman, who knows they may be able to go back to the Dotel, Lidge, Wagner days with these current bullpen guys.

    Little less defense, but I don't think too much (and if Meyers is what they say, you move Chaz to LF in the late innings)

    Then you've got the pop vs walk skills, and I'm not sure how you'd contrast the comparable value in that (if you want to go by something simple like OPS it's not even close in favor of Chas)
