Geez. The groin has a good game and everyone's ready to canonize him.
He's certainly a better leadoff hitter than Willie Harris, but this guy batted .244 last year. How 'bout we wait a little while before retiring his jersey?
I don't think it's just tonight's good game. He certainly doesn't look like a .244 hitter so far, and has 9 SB's in 12 games. He only has 3 strike outs in almost 50 AB's. You can't deny he's done a fine job of helping us manufacture some runs. Hell, we don't win yesterday's game if it wasn't for him.
Maybe some of us are glorifying him too much before he hits a probable offensive regression, but I don't think you need to call anyone out on it. He's brought a new dynamic to the club that's helped us climb quickly to the top of our division.
