If Casey Kotchman is hitting 300/380/500 at the break, I'll joyfully hold him up as one more example of how the M's were once again two steps ahead of us. :- )
In 2009, they did this to me with the bullpen and with Aardsma in particular. I thought for sure that bullpen was looking down the barrel of huge problems, but the M's proved me wrong with an underline.
Same thing on Branyan hitting against LHP's. The stats looked to me like Branyan was going to have a miserable time, but Zduriencik had him in Milwaukee and *knew* it was going to work out the way it did.
It's possible that Z will pull another Branyan. If he does, we'll all put the move in the Z-Obiesance Hall of Fame.
