Maybe we are rebuilt already?
Matt Higgins and Glenn Johnston playing regularly and batting 1-2 with great offense AND defense are working like a charm. The middle of the order Hall-Osanai-Dawson is streaky at the edges, and Osanai just keeps hammering. In fact, the outfield is rather crowded now, with Bobby Quinn getting squeezed out.
The rotation, after a rough first two weeks, are dealing fire. And that 1-2 punch makes opponents give up before series even begin.
Only concern is the bullpen. We *need* another lefty, which has been made obvious repeatedly now after getting beaten by teams with strong left-handed lineups like the Knights, who don't shy back from batting all-lefties 3-4-5-6 in their lineup, and my staff can't get through it. Winning one of those three was a success already. We will be looking for right-handers at our own AAA team. We may call up Albert Matthews, who is officially underwhelmed by AAA hitting.
And Steven Berry? He's been a rule 5 pick, for furball's sake!
Saito, Wade, Turner, Berry, Reyes, West, Lagarde, Martinez, Osanai, Hall, Dawson, Johnston, Higgins, Dadswell, Vinson, Dumont ... isn't life beautiful?
