I laughed at the opening weekend lineup, which had Villalona, Ambort, and Neal batting 7, 8, 9 with Ford, Crawford, and Noonan batting 1, 2, 3. Crawford has since proved that to be prescient, but everything else was a bit of a head scratcher.

by Nibbler on May 1, 2009 7:51 PM PDT reply actions  

He’s definitely shown some power potential this year. He does have a kinda long swing, though, so I wonder if his strike outs would shoot up against higher competition.
