to me Michael Saunders looked just as hopeless last night as he ever did.
I marvel at your technical savvy in baseball mechanics, Doc, and reading your analysis of WHY he looked hopeless was instructive and makes all kinds of sense.
One of the cool things about getting Wells and Robinson on top of Mike Carp's emergence as a "stick" is that we don't have to give Saunders a second thought. Either he electrifies us this month, and he won't, or he becomes just another failed Bavasi-era prospect to be tossed aside.
It's a shame. I just figured out last night that Saunders reminds me of Rick Monday, a lanky, lean, swift and graceful lefty centerfielder who hit with pretty good power while striking out a lot. Monday was a big-leaguer from the get-go. Saunders is not.
