Does it look like his wrist is still bothering him?

Does it look like his wrist is still bothering me?

No idea. I haven't even thought about it.


As for Dee, I saw him a few weeks ago when some Lookouts were about to hit in the cage and he looked like he was still in high school. I was baffled.

Dee Gordon of the Lookouts had his 34th error of the year. Coming into the season, he was the #46 prospect in all of baseball according to Baseball America.

Which always was laughable to me. The guy weighs in at 150 pounds and he isn't going to get any bigger. He has the frame of a 14 year old boy, but one who won't hit a growth spurt to fill out.

That's quite an absolute statement from you. Are you really saying that it is impossible for him to fill out a little?

Joe Morgan was 5-7, 160. (I actually agree with you though that being slight of frame gives a guy longer odds).
