Posted May 22, 200520 yr A bit of a surprise, and huge improvement over last year is our bench play. Easley comes in the game for Castillo or Gonzalez and hardly misses a beat defensively while adding some pop to the lineup. Harris is hitting an unbelievable .412. Conine, who can start in the OF or 1B is hitting a solid .289 Aguila is solid at all OF positions and is hitting a respectable .250 Joe Dillon joins the group and knocks in a game winning HR. Nice, very nice.
May 22, 200520 yr I like it, even with Lenny on the bench. As long as he keeps hitting like he is he deserves his spot.
May 22, 200520 yr Author Matt Treanor has done a pretty nice job as well. 779387[/snapback] Right, somehow I missed him. Thanks. Treanor is hitting .313, and solid defensively as a back-up catcher.
May 22, 200520 yr I wish Jack would utilize Conine and Aguila a little bit more though. Aguila only has like 12 at-bats this season. Pierre hasn't been playing all that great lately, I'd like to see what Aguila could do, he's just wasting away on the bench.
May 22, 200520 yr Aguila is solid at all OF positions and is hitting a respectable .250 779381[/snapback] Is he 1-4?
May 22, 200520 yr Author good use of verbs and adjectives, PBMarlin. 779418[/snapback] fixed it for you. 779422[/snapback]
May 22, 200520 yr Author Aguila is solid at all OF positions and is hitting a respectable .250 779381[/snapback] Is he 1-4? 779444[/snapback] 3-12

May 22, 200520 yr I thought there was a lot more room for improvement, even on a budget, but, hey, these guys are getting it done and Jack is not pressing the matter with his moves.
