But he's gritty. Hard-nosed.

Was just answering the question.

He doesn't have a history of sustained success.  Might mean this is just a hot streak.

I agree -- much too soon to tell, but the fact that it's a possibility is a very nice surprise.

Seriously, I think he's just getting more comfortable in the majors. When he was Rule 5 we were still trying to win,, used him very sparingly. Now he's playing every day. Don't know if he's for real but he's much improved at least.

[scOtt]

Means settled in.

Ummmmmm and Sisco does?

Speaking of Sisco, he just overthrew his throw back to the pitcher. 

Thats bad, isn't it?

asking for a friend...

If there's nobody on base, it doesn't matter.

Except maybe in the Atlantic League.   I'm not sure about that.

Orioles orange hair too.

WAY back in left field!

[SteveA]

Wow Keon.   He doesn't hit many, but when he does they are SHOTS.   Like that first one in Seattle on the first pitch he saw as an Oriole.

And Richie bunts for a base hit!!!   Just needs a double and homer for the cycle!

[spiritof66]

Power supplied by Martin and Broxton. 

[scOtt]

This kid really makes things happen out there!

You ask a question, I'm nice enough to answer it and you take a shot at me?  Classy.

And yes, Sisco has more of a history of success in the minors than does Santander.  816 OPS as a catcher opposed to a 784 as a corner outfielder.  (Sisco's numbers in the majors are also superior)

The bottom four in that lineup -- Sisco vs. a LHer, Wilkerson  batting RHed, Broxton and Martin -- is pretty much   . Maybe they'll surprise me. 

Wilkerson has a single.   Martin has a triple that he scored on, and a bunt single.   Broxton has a monster shot home run.   And there's still no one out in the 4th.

Are you surprised?
