Herve
Checking out the paper this morning I noticed that Herve's Waveriders were in a pennant race. The good news being they are tied for 3rd and only 3 games out of first. The bad news being that all the teams in AAA Central are below .500.
I was talking on the phone with Herve this morning and he's not happy with his season that started so promising. He's got a decent OBP of .336 but less power with a .355 SLG. (below last year). He says they are pitching him different this season. More curve balls.
Still, our buddy has walked more than he has fanned and has played terrific defense. They have been playing him at the hot corner lately.
I spoke with Mr. Beck and he says the Org. is still very high on Herve. He's just 23 and facing pitchers that are more refined that what he saw in single and double A. He's got a nice 8 game hitting streak going. No question in my mind, he's a hitter and a darned good one.
