Seriously? <b>Is it because of his minor league numbers?</b> They guy other than Byrd has arguably been our most productive player with half of the at bats. He at least needs the chance to prove he sucks.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's my guess, and like I keep saying, he's not that same player. What were the main 2 issues people had with Colvin before? Lack of power and patience. Again, he put on a ton of muscle in the offseason, so the power improvement should've been expected. In Spring Training, before he was even dominating, people were talking about the noticeable power improvements. And <i>so far</i>, he's been way more patient than years past.
