Well, my boy Henri Stanley has yet to start hitting for Pawtucket. He's proven he can hit, but since joining the Red Sox organization, Stanley has batted just .205/.239/.295 in 44 AB.
While we're on the subject of my favorite players, Padres manager Bruce Bochy has given Jon Knott only three at-bats so far. Knott is 0-for-3, but good grief, give the guy a chance! What are you worried about, Bruce? Hurting Terrence Long's feelings?
