I know I shouldn’t toot my horn, it’s way early yet, but so far the year is shaping up in many ways as predicted. I don’t think anybody thought that Everett would be a great hitter but the assumption was that Dee-loving Jimy Williams and the Astros’ power hitters would help keep Everett his job.
But he hasn’t. Will Julio Lugo get the bulk of the time? His defensive deficiencies could mean that Geoff Blum will take away some AB, but this has to be good news for those who invested in Lugo and Morgan Ensberg–some AB have been freed.
