Been seeing the same thing you have JR. Gutierrez is carrying the team on his shoulders right now. Trying to, anyway.
The thought of his maintaining this level of play is simply thrilling.
We Have A New Leader In Our Clubhouse
One exciting thing about baseball, is to watch the blossoming of a a great talent right before your eyes. As we witnessed Griffey Jr, to fruition, Randy Johnson, and Arod, and Edgar, we have one right now, that possesses that same excitement and elation when he brings it to the park and wins a big game for you. In Ichiro's words "He made a very nice, fantastic play out there."
Yes, Franklin, you sure did.
This guy is falling into the sparkplug role, of getting this team to fire on all possible cylinders, it seems he is learning how to lead by example , and he is unquestionably just the thing we have needed to fire up the rest of this team. With the less than exceptionable defense we have seen so far, and the laminitus of our offense, the one burning piece of phosphorus, is our center fielder.
His ops+ is a laughable 169, his ops .950. Team Leader, indeed, he is carving out for himself, a role I hope he grabs with both hands, the quiet, get it done, perseverance is our game, I'm going to pick you guys up, follow me.
Yes, Franklin Gutierrez, is our new team leader, whether he knows it yet, or not.
