    Jose Vizcanio is our best right-handing pinch hitter, not Bruntlett.

    Throughout his career, Viz has always been a better left-handed batter than right-handed. For that reason, I'd rather still have him in that role... even if we have the Lamb/Palmeiro/Scott options (and thus, I didn't really consider him has a right-handed pinch hitter).

    Bruntlett also has more pop as a right-handed batter than Viz... and he's got a quicker bat. All things considered (OBP, K's), they're about even.... and in the end, I'd still take Bagwell over both in a second.

    Glad to have Baggy back. We need that bat.

    Can't wait to see Baggy as our DH in the WS. ;)
