And he'll likely have little power for the rest of the year...thumb injuries suck.

So why does it never work out this way????

He's starting tonight.

Any talk in DC about Steven Souza Jr getting a look, or traded, this year? After a monster year at AA last year (.300 with 15 HRs and 20 SBs), he is simply demolishing AAA: in 275 ABs, he is hitting .371 with 14 HRs (slugging .615) and 21 SBs. Yet I have heard very little about him.

No offense Simon, but please start a new thread about Souza! I dont need the heart palpitations by seeing Harper out two months AGAIN.

Lol, wasn't sure he was thread-worthy (though he is in my eyes)...sorry for the palps.
