Looper the strikeout artist!

I just gotta wonder with Skip playing quite a bit and So sitting down. You think it's lefty/righty or do you think Tony has a tougher decision to make when 43 comes back?

Wow. 23 pitches, 3 k, 1 bb, 1 double.

I believe in Looper.

Braden Looper, staff ace.

Nice inning, he's missing OUT of the zone. ALWAYS. He just looks like he was born to do this. I know it's early and he'll have some challenges, but boy has he exceeded my expectations so far.

I think he does. If Skip hits and plays defense, then what are you going to do? I would probably keep Skip for now, just because he has more of a future with the club. IF he can hit and keep hitting a little, then he has more value than So, just in age, speed, energy, need for experience, etc.

I also believe in Looper.

Edmonds, on the other hand...

I'm with you fat. I'm not crazy about either one at this point, but if I had to pick I think I'd go with Skip.

No data to back this up, but it's my impression that 7 has had the toughest luck this year so far.

does anybody think that if Edmonds doesn't improve, and he ends up batting like .230 with less than 10 homeruns that he might just retire at the end of the year?
