what's funny is that Desmond isn't even a power hitter really.

Only hit 1 Homer in 178 ABs with Syracuse prior to getting called up.

I guess what they say about some players doing better in the Majors than the Minors because they see better pitching is true.


Well, that can be the case in some cases, but in general, while you may see the ball better, it is still harder. The 3-run jack was on giant hanging breaking ball sitting out their like a beach ball. At least he makes good contact. Not an easy thing for some of these guys who move to the next level.

I really hope they go ahead and play him a lot over the remainder of the season. We have to see what he can do. Guzman is just not acceptable as the only option at SS.
