4/11 Blue Jays at Orioles

[Yard Bird]

Trembley made a comment at Fan Fest that we only had 6 legitimate hitters in the lineup last year and would have at least 8 this year.

I don't think he had this lineup in mind when he made that comment.

[Palmoripken]

Playing the role of Chris Hansen today, Kevin Millwood who has urged the Blue Jays to "take a seat, right there on that bench."

[Mike B]

Millwood is a pro, changing speeds inside and out, looks good. He does remind me of Sutcliffe.

[Palmoripken]

Millwood's been great today.

[alaniee]

Great inning by Millwood, nice play with Wiggy/Millwood to end it.

[Hank Scorpio]

Great play by Wigginton, there. Nice job leading Millwood.

He looked like a pulling guard.

[O-The-Memories]

I was thinking the same but do we really want Wiggy playing second. Maybe Turner?

Turner isn't exactly gifted defensively man. I'd rather run Wigginton or even Lugo out there. But then again, it's about time to see if Turner can stick or not.

[Cal Jr. Jr.]

Texiera who?

[backwardsk]

I'm really hoping we're going to see Wigginton at 2nd quite a bit until Roberts comes back. Lugo is virtually helpless against a righty with a decent slider.

Gotta feel bad for Wigginton. Remember at Fanfest, they had just signed Tejada? Then Roberts is hurt in ST and they grab Lugo. I'm not saying that getting another MI is a bad idea, I just think he should be getting ABs at second base now. I wonder, if Atkins wasn't nicked up, what the lineup would be.

[Scrat1]

Wiggy is better at 2nd than Turner and I don't think it is particularly close. Wigginton is a better athlete than he appears to be.

Talk about vindication.

Millwood looks amazing, and that was a great play by Wigginton. I also love Markakis's patience and can't stand Angel Hernandez.

Wiggy is better at 2nd than Turner and I don't think it is particularly close. Wigginton is a better athlete than he appears to be.

RHB heavy teams that love the fastball are going to really struggle with Millwood. His slider and curve are pretty nasty pitches for pull conscious righties like Wells and Encarnacion.

Wiggy looks a lot better in the field this year as well, losing that weight really helped him. No fears letting him play second.

Turner isn't exactly gifted defensively man. I'd rather run Wigginton or even Lugo out there. But then again, it's about time to see if Turner can stick or not.

If he doesn't have the range to play 2B, he can't stick. It's that simple.

[The Epic]

Impressive. Milwood is dominating right now. CG maybe?

That's what I'm hoping. Most of the 'pen has been pretty doggone good, but I'd rather see a 102-pitch CG, really.

I agree with point 2 and have only seen Turner once so I will have to go with you. My problem with Wiggy at second is he does not seem to break and square up on the ball.
