As for Johnny G...I disagree. They have not given him a chance. I hate to see providing someone with the opportunity in the last week of the race - but each time they bring him up they will let him start a few games sporadically and pull him in the 6th or 7th inning and not give him the full chance. Or if they are winning leave him in the game but only play him once every 10 games.

I do not think he has seen any field time since the last call up almost a month ago. Moose, on the other hand, is making two + mistakes per game...hell, give it a roll and see what happens.

Either way - I just hope they can sweep tonight and keep in the games the rest of the week. IF they can do that and exert what energy they need to in a single game playoff wildcard lineup - then I like that chances of 3 or 5....but then I am a believer

Dabs, at the risk of sounding like Dawg by quoting stats...
Here is Johnny G's stats for 4 MLB seasons:
462 plate appearances (about 2/3 of a full MLB season)
435 AB
.237 batting avg
.275 OBP
.333 slug %
103 hits 20 doubles, 5 triples and 4 HR
45 rbi
76 strikeouts/ 20 walks

I am not impressed. In addition to his below average defense, he has a low batting average, doesn't walk much, and doesn't hit for power. I think we already have a team full of those type of players, don't we?
