A star is born. 20-some at bats in, and the kid's hitting .500. I like a lot of what I see from this kid. He has a hole in his swing up, but he's fairly disciplined for a rook, and seem to lay off the high cheddar.
I know the guy's a career infielder, so I can't get too on him for the erratic outfielding. I think he played third in the minors--can't we put him at second? One problem solved...

Looks like he WILL be batting .500 for his career, I was way off on this one!
I wonder if the rookies are more comfortable playing since there's a bunch of them up (evans, murphy, a. reyes, kunz), rather than just one of them. might take the pressure off a bit, which is good.
Yeah, good point.
Kunz is off to a rough start. Hope he gets together before the doubts start a-brewing in his own head.
A. Reyes strikes me as a bench guy, and borderline. Evans I don't know about. Kunz and Murphy look like they have a real future.
With F Mart and Niese still on the way, the future's so bright I've gotta wear shades.
Kid looked good again yesterday--he was the only thing to cheer for at Shea...
Interesting sighting in the red seats--some fat-ass hoofing it up the steps wearing a Red Sox jersey and carrying his 2008 NHL champs Red Wings cap. I yelled to him "Hey, you got your Giants socks and Celtics drawers to go with that outfit you frontrunning embarrassment?"
Response: a head-down shuffle to his seat...pathetic.
I wondered who said that to me.
You D*ck...
