I still have hope for the Cajun. Just getting back to his 2010 numbers would be better than most of our current lineup haha. <br />I agree, Id like to see him stay there for the AAA playoffs. The Rays dont need him. Although, I really, really miss the D. Sean Rod- just no. And as far as Elliot goes, he looked lost at the plate when I was there Saturday night. It was ugly.curiousraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-83859159678682896412011-08-08T11:37:51.802-04:002011-08-08T11:37:51.802-04:00His play in the field has been terrific (you have ...His play in the field has been terrific (you have probably seen the clip of one from the other day). Also really a lot of fun watching him interact with Ray Olmedo our usual 2B. They make a terrific team and they seem to be having fun. Their won-game handshake/dance is a sight to behold.<br /><br />At bat my understanding is that he's supposed to be working on hitting the ball squarely and into the middle of the field. I'd say he's coming along, but has a ways to go. He has been unlucky in placement of a few well hit balls. I don't know enough to judge his swing. Looks the same to me as when he was here year before last. <br /><br />My judgement, however, is suspect. I always thought Elliot Johnson was a better hitter than Reid, so what do I know?<br /><br />Local opinion (mine, really) is that if we're in the playoffs, why not leave him with us for early September. The Rays don't need him any more in the first week in September as the third week. That's assuming they don't want to give Beckham a taste of AAA (more likely event, I'd guess).Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-20165205370851886582011-08-08T11:19:20.714-04:002011-08-08T11:19:20.714-04:00Beside the not so terrific BA (altho inflated or d...Beside the not so terrific BA (altho inflated or deflated due only playing in 10 games), how is Briggy doing ? Any changes with the swing? Look like he will be back in Tampa in September ? We sure miss his web gems here on the D.curiousraynoreply@blogger.com
