I've seen the Astros this year too. It's hard to imagine someone is worse but the Twins are...

I believe he was a switch hitter and they said he had more power from the left side. although i think that was his first HR?

Meh, I like Hagadone a lot. No secret I think he has 7th inning stuff. But this early in his career, Id like to see him used for lefties or start an inning. Smith has the experience and if its a switch hitter, Id rather a righty be in there who has been through it before than a rookie.

Also, 1st HR from the right side, 4 from the left...Odd power numbers if its supposed to be the other way.

2/4, 2R, 2RBI, HR and NO STRIKEOUTS!
True. If he goes on a tear you become a legend

it seems like we always give up homers to people who rarely hit them. i bet Ichiro will have like 3 HRs in 2 games when they get in town.

Lame. They need to call up laporta here soon. He's been killing it is aaa. Maybe the light has finally turned on and he's going to be the player we all expected him to be

Or he could be what we always thought he could be. We won't know till we play him. We don't want to have another Brandon Phillips
