He's a "Gym rat" in a baseball uniform and is now coming into his own. He is more typically a corner outfielder with good speed and very, very good power.

Lambert has been sent back to Toledo. It's good to have another left handed bat in the lineup. Larrish up and will start at 3rd tonight. Lambert has been sent back to Toledo.

The league is known for pitchers who throw a lot of breaking balls. I am pretty sure Joyce does not qualify for the Arizona Fall league, due to him passing his rookie eligibility this summer. Joyce has confirmed he will be playing in the Mexican league this winter. Matt - Ryan makes sense too. A good chance to give him at bats at a higher level to see how well he hits and handles top flight pitching. Dave T. –
