At least it's not like the Milwaukee series. Peavy is just dominant on most of the hitters though.

It's Jake Peavy, they have an excuse tonight. We sure do need a power hitter.

Redman's .340 OBP belongs 7th or 8th. Should've gotten Byrnes when we had the chance. No true leadoff hitter, no power hitters outside of Craig and Ward, and their both below average on D. Lawton probably should be hitting 3rd, but on this team, I like him where he is.

[Friday133]

what sucks is we may need to sacrafice some young pitching talent to get someone with an ounce of power. i hate to give up any pitching, we've spent so much time trying to get a good rotation.
