Re: MLB 2008 RTTS: Joe Brizuela a short stops journey
Matt Vasgersian Chronicles:
throughout the spring training I have witnessed Joe Brizuela as the future of the Tampa Bay Rays at SS. I have to say as a physical speciamen he reminds of a an AROD tyoe player. At 6'2 215 LBS he resembles the body build and the strength to be a major league power house. During the spring training regime, I noticed that Brizuela early on had some issues adjusting to major league ball. However; after the 5th game, I noticed that he was absolutley lights out! Leading the Rays throughout the spring with a .347 Batting average with 1 homerun, 10 SB and approx. 24 RBI's all the while hitting from the 9th hole is phenominal. Brizuela has shown all the tools and the grit to be a perinial all stare at the next level. Which this also brigs me to the next managment concern. Why oh why is he the backup SS for the AA biscuits for the team? He clearly is the future of this franchise and yet I feel he is getting the shaft? I mean take for instance the pinch hitting role he took in where he lead the comeback a run down and eventual won the game for the biscuits against the lookouts was a clear sign that he needs to start but for whatever reason the manager says no. I dont foresee this to be an issue any longer however because it looks to be that Brizuela is leaidn the team from all angles and sooner rather than later the manager will have no choice but to put in the phenom. -
