Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Help is on the way

Tony Jackson is reporting that the other Blake has been recalled. Osuna has been cut loose. I'm going to assume that DeWitt passed muster in Vegas at 2nd or they wouldn't be making this move.

This does give us a better option then playing Kent when he is tired or hurt and I for one can't wait to see Blake come in for defensive purposes when they double switch out Kent late in games. Of all the surprises this year, having Blake DeWitt playing 2nd base in Aug would be near the top of the list back in January of 2008.

As reported earlier this week in Blue Sparks, Blake has been on a hot streak.

Blake DeWitt gets off the floor and caps a strong 4 game stretch with a 5 for 5 game. All singles but over that 4 game stretch he collected 11 hits in 19 at bats including 6 XBH. He started the stretch by hitting two home runs on Aug 20th. He's been playing 2nd base every game

Help

You scared me for a second there. I thought we had made another trade when I read the headline.

So is Blake DeWitt our 3B of the future now? If he can become a Mike Lowell-type player like Andrew once said is his peak, I would welcome that.

Re:

I find it hard to believe that Andrew ever said something nice enough about DeWitt that he could become a Lowell like player. For one Andrew felt DeWitt’s defense was not up to par, and Lowell has been an excellent defender for years. Plus he has plus power.

Here’s what he said on the opening day thread regarding a high-end projection for DeWitt:

“I think an enthusiastic projection would be Mike Lowell with worse defense.”
