Jerry Hairston Jr appreciation thread

Not a game thread, just a thread appreciating what Hairston has done in his tenure as a Red.

I'll take some more bad routes in CF for some hits. He's definatley provided the spark the Reds needed.

Re: Jerry Hairston Jr appreciation thread

You've found your new Jorge Cantu.

(BTW: Tonight's performance has probably guaranteed Hairston at least 3 weeks of PT)

I'm saying, he could pull a Patterson for the next 2-3 weeks and still keep living off this opening game performance.

Say hello to your new everyday CF and leadoff man, until he starts sucking (which I am sure he will).

He did more tonight than Castro did all season.

Re: Jerry Hairston Jr appreciation thread

So far, so good. However, I remember the spectacular 1st game back for Neon Deion in 2001. I am taking nothing for granted!

Because after looking at his career numbers, I'm going to say he doesn't keep hitting like that.

Great game tonight though, just what this team needed

Even Jason Ramano had a few good games in CF...
