A solid debut for him tonight. 1-3 with a walk, only one strikeout. He'll be in the lineup tomorrow night too, hopefully he'll show off his pop and get Lou on his side. The only thing I didn't like was he seemed to be pressing some, particularly in his first two at-bats when he put the first pitch in play. I know he's going to want to do his best and make an impression but he's more likely to do that if he sticks with the patience that made him a great hitter in the minors.
