was a 15/20 - 15/25 guy in the minors with a .300 career avg so hes worth a shot especially the way hes been playing

Anything is better than Dellucci. And that anything is Ben Francisco.

I picked him up earlier this week , but I was afraid to put him in my starting line-up . He is starting for me tomorrow (kiss of death).

He's a good hitter and has a good arm in the OF. He hits righties and lefties well, and can play both left and right field.

He won't be taking Gut out of the lineup permanently. But he will be taking alot of PT away from Dellucci (thank god). They need to just can Dellucci and let it ride with the young guys.

[T-Bird 93]

He has hit in the 3 hole for at least the last couple of days. He has been a nice consolation prize for the Jay Bruce lottery.
