believe guy
I believe the guy has been around long enough to know what he's doing.
batting good help hit hitter third
Batting third could help him hit .300 for the first time. He's too good a hitter not to have done that.

I don't have doubts that he'll hit or that they'll walk him. The swing has always been there.

I didn't like what I saw Sunday - he didn't look like he was standing on both feet. The bat is there; the legs are not.

I'd like him to play even if the field isn't 100 percent.

I'd like to use him at second base when Ray is out, as he is often,

No brawl. No fight. Kind of a strange. I never saw anything like that before.

Right now I'm penciling him for cleanup. And that's before we've even played a game.

Lowry threw the ball well in the first inning. But then had problems in the second.
