Do they have LaHair pitching yet? Just in case Pena is signed to clog first base next season? WAIT A MINUTE….HENDRY IS GONE!! Theo may actually consider NOT signing “Saint Pena” and his anemic ba with RISP creating something which Hendry/Quade were not familiar with….OPPORTUNITY for promising rookies.

If Theo bases his decisions on ba with RISP, I will be very depressed.
