I see him figuing it out in time. but like I said, he should be in AAA until near the end of the season when the rosters get bigger, unless there is an injured player.

I think that the morel/teahan 3b looks pretty good, although the position should be teahans to lose.

in 2009 at least he drew 23 walks. and he’s young. hopefully, he figures it out.

I think he only had one walk all year last year, but I’m not sure how many at bats he had.

they (hawk? dj?) should retire the stupid ‘you can’t hit if you don’t swing’ slogan. it’s not the most hits, it’s the most runs.

I was one who thought that viciedo should be in AAA to start the season to work on plate mechanics, and save a roster spot for someone who can pinch-run for konerko or dunn with the game on the line, like lillybridge or de aza. viciedo is young and to me didn’t fit the “all in” bill. not this year, but he is going to be good in future seasons.
