I posted the other day that he's really pretty good against left handers and I'd think he'll see a lot more time against them than anything. He hits fine against both right and left handers but gets on base at a much better clip against left handers for whatever reason. He's really tough to strike out. He's just a solid player and won't do anything to hurt us. You can feel comfortable with him getting a bunt down when we need one or using him to hit and run. He's not going to make a lot of stupid mistakes on the bases. He'll be fine.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep, and I think you won't respect him enough unless you watch what he'll do for us on a daily basis. At the end of the year, his numbers aren't going to wow you, but he'll do things in each game that helps win.
