Just a cup of coffee? Or, the start of a consecutive game streak?
When Laurant Mercier went down with a herniated disc injury (2 weeks) club management decided to dip into the minors for another outfielder. That brings the Diamonds back up to 5 OF's.
The bench coach has me leading off and in CF vs RHP, but, on the pine vs. lefties. I am not currently listed as a starting pitcher.
No guarantees as to how long I will stay with the Diamonds once Mercier returns to the line up. 25 year old OF David Lenoir is probably having an off-year but is expected to stay with the club. However, Bench Coach Claude Torres encouraged me to give it all I have and then see what happens and who goes where. So, that's the plan.
