Injuries

Will be interesting to see how they bring along Anu. We have been kind of floundering in the DH spot for a while. Jump was there, then Felker and now Church. Church is hitting .350 in just 20 at bats. So, he's been pretty effective. Felker was hitting .389 in league play, so not sure why we went away from him either. Mingione seems to have a short leash on some players and not on others.

Anu was hitting well, but conference play is where the rubber meets the road. Will the recovered hamate be something that still hinders him? Will they throw him into the fire or will they ease him back with some pinch hitting appearances?

I went back and looked. Anu hit .234 in league play. 26-111 with 34 strikeouts. Hoping the second year in the league will be different but he’s missed a lot of baseball and will definitely be rusty coming back.

Yea, I don't know how he'll do to be honest. I mean, we saw Estep tearing it up in OOC and how he's hitting just .196 in league play. Really struggling lately. Similar with Plastiak hitting .163, who has 3 home runs in just 8 league hits. Both could turn it around, but they are really struggling right now.
