Counsell and Kata lead off with hits!

That's a great twosome at the top of the order. I love what they bring to the table hitting #1 and #2. Not necessarily the fastest, but I'd take both over Womack and his .270 OBP any day.
Someone remind Brenly, though, because we do not need to see Womack back at leadoff anytime soon. Or ever.

 

[AZCB34]

Matthews singles...first and third nobody out

 

[AZCB34]

Single by Vazquez. Burroughs scores Matthews to third 1-1.

 

[AZCB34]

Ojeda grounds out. Matthews scores, Vazquez to second 2-1

 

[AZCB34]

Jarvis (P) singles scoring Vazquez. 3-1 Padres

Is it too late to renig on teh Durazo trade on the fact that Dessens arm seems to not work right. Is is our weakest starting pitcher.

What do you do with Kata when Spivey comes back though?

 

[Dback Jon]

Elmer Lopez (or is it Albie Dessens) can't seem to put more than a couple of good starts together.

 

[AZCB34]

Kotsay strikes out. 2 outs. Jarvis on 1st.

 

[AZCB34]

Loretta singles, Jarvis to second.

 

[AZCB34]

Rondell white singles. Jarvis scores 4-1 Padres

 

[AZCB34]

Good warming up in the bull pen now

 

[Yotesfan85044]

Time to pull Elmer Fudd before this gets too out of hand!

 

[AZCB34]

Wild pitch runners advance to second and third

 

[AZCB34]

Ground out ends the innning. 4-1 Padres

Tough question. I'd love to see if Spivey could play RF. If not (or if he won't), you may want to consider a Spivey package for a right fielder. Send Elmer with him.
It may seem premature to put so much stock in Kata, but they also have an infielder by the name of Tracy who is supposedly ready to enter the mix next year.

Moeller fans

Is Spivey still doing those Dairy Queen comercials out there in Phoenix? Those were so generic.

Could Kata play the OF?

Chad Tracy is a corner infielder.

What about Kata to RF?

 

[AZCB34]

Q singles to right 10 hits in last 23 ABs.

Dessens comes up to bat...fans boo

 

[bankybruce]

I read somewhere that Kata has a above average major league arm.

 

[AZCB34]

Dessens sacrifices Q to second...2 outs
