Maybe he's not Gerald Young, Jr. after all:

He's hitting .363 over the last 8 games. Excellent!

Yes, and hitting the ball hard.

It was me who said that I am looking forward to Backe's next start. Agree with Vega that 7 was plenty for Backe. There is no need to stretch it with him. Let him come into his game slowly. I think he could end up being our most consistant pitcher if he stays healthy.

watching bourne play center field like I havnt seen it played since cedeno was here is worth allowing him to come around slowly to me
