He has the makings of the clown prince of baseball. Anyone that annoits him as the next shortstop has to be smoking something fairly strong. He made an error in the first inning in which he bobbled the ball as if it were a hot coal. Next thing you know, the dugout is moving around trying not to get hit by his errant throw to first base. By the way, the error lead to an un-earned run with a two base error. At the plate, he dropped below the mendoza line today as he was apart of a double play. This is not a good two weeks for him and if not for Freddie Bynum going down with an injury...he may have already been packing for minor league camp.
I want to see Scott Moore, when healthy, be given a shot a SS.
We made Chan Ho Park seem to be the re-incarnation of Don Drysdale today. Either Park relearned the "Shuto" pitch or the Orioles failed to put good wood on the ball as they got under alot of his pitches with fly-ball outs. My hope is that it is early to recongnize the pitches and given a month or two those balls become line drives. This team is going to go through a number of tough times this year and I would not be surprised one bit to see a 10-15 losing streak this season.
It is going to be long from the first impression.
