    He wasn't really called up. He was in AAA on rehab and was taken off of the DL. While there he hit .387/.424/.645 with 2 home runs, 2 doubles, 2 walks and a strikeout in 7 games.

    They have it wrong. They list him with those stats for 2013. But when I dug further and went to KC's player stats, he's not listed.

    www.mlb.com has it wrong on his player page. Sorry.

    He is showing up on the Diamondbacks' active roster. http://diamondbacks.mlb.com/team/ros...e.jsp?c_id=ari

    He is on the active roster, but he wasn't called up. He was simply activated from the DL, where he began the year. He was rehabbing in AAA.

    Ahh. So he was down in AAA on a rehab assignment?

    Yes sir.

    Funny enough, I went back and watched both of his home runs he hit while there. They went to almost the exact same spot. In Reno there is a big tower in the bullpen (probably a light tower). His first home run landed right in front of it and bounced off of it. His second home run hit off of the tower about 8-10 feet up.

    Chris Denorfia's line thus far: .364/.429/.523
    "This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S.

    Heisey/Paul are okay, I guess, but I would love the chance to have a Denorfia/Dickerson platoon.

    Out of curiosity do you guys think that Gregorius will be better than Cozart? Do you think that the Diamondbacks would have taken Cozart over Gregorius?
    I see great things in baseball. It's our game.

    I believe Gregorius will have a better career than Cozart, though maybe not a better 2013 season. After this season though, I would take Gregorius. Better defense and I believe he has a potentially better bat as well.
