No argument there. I'm hoping that the last month of Olivo is the one we get going forward, and not the first month.
He and Ryan have both been much improved. I actually like Ryan a lot - did even in his slump. He worked his at-bats, ran HARD and well around the bases, and his defense has been steadily more impressive as he goes. I like how vocal he is and the energy he brings...
It's kinda like watching Bloomie, if Bloomie had a great glove and could take a walk. Hopefully Ryan and Olivo can both be their more recent iterations going forward. Asking for David Bell at shortstop and the early Dan Wilson years behind the plate doesn't seem like a lot, but it would help a lot, especially against LHP.
