Guys who we can expect in the lineup tonight that have done well against Bonderman are Crede (.400) and Cintron (.357). Will Ryan Sweeney or Jerry Owens get a start in left field with these awesome BAA from our left fielders? Pods (.111 in 18 AB), Mack (.167 in 6 AB), Pablo (.000 in 3 AB). Gload has two hits in six at-bats, but it'd be way too logical to try him in left field.
I'm probably surprising Cheat by posting my one story every 6 months, but, hey, it's boring in Iowa.
