Any word on why Taveras was replaced after only two at bats?
By that point the team was getting absolutely killed. Probably just a rest-the-starter situation.
Remember Dutch is only 19. He’s starting to get his bearings. May still be a sleeper in the long run.
Michael Blazek -Springfield Cards- Started 8 horrible games , then moved to relief and has 20 better games-is he a keeper?
Probably not. Long shot to make the majors.
