I have written before about no slugger in history having their 3 best seasons at ages 34-36, perhaps Big Papi being an exception. But here Cruz is doing it! I don't know what to say, other than he is a phenomenal athlete. I think his stroke gets more simple and prettier all the time!
That said, can we ship Martin out and get Haniger back here pronto? Martin is 13/57 since coming back up, but minus his 1st three games he is 8/44. He sucks you in with a good game and then hacks away again. He brings a glove, but I am tired of him.
Ditto Espinosa! He's mostly terrible right now and Motter is mostly slaughtering AAA pitching. Get him back up, too!!
It's a bandaid situation with the starters after the Miranda start. But what else is new?
Weird Vogs update: in AAA he is hitting .276-.378-.414 vs older pitchers but .378-.471-.690 vs younger arms. Sort of goes along with his Seattle struggles, doen't it?
