Pollock Joins Silver Hawks

Here's the full story.

Still at 24 active players with Ramirez moving up to Visalia and Morgan on the DL.

With the addition of Krauss and Pollock recently, the Silver Hawks lineup has gotten stronger. I think a few new bats makes every part of the lineup stronger, because it allows players to move into roles they are more comfortable.

For example, Alberto Diaz was batting cleanup for South Bend throughout June. While he is a power hitter, he is better suited for 6th or 7th in the lineup at this time until he develops further. And when you talk about a 7th hitter with the power numbers that Diaz has, that immediately makes the bottom third of the lineup better.

  1. no disrespect to Ramon Ramirez..but he was only hitting .211 in very limited action.. so i'm confused how he got called up. do you have any insight into how/why this happened?
