I don't watch the Knights and know nothing of the pitchers in their league, but, in fact, Viciedo's batting stats appear to be better on the road than in the Knights' "bandbox."

So EVERY minor league statistic doesn't count? He's hitting the crap out of the ball where he's at. He hit over .300 during his call-up last year, why would you assume he's only hitting because he's in AAA? Heck, half of the pitchers in the major leagues should be in AAA!

I bet even Adam Dunn could hit like 230 down there

Dayan went 2-5 tonight to extend his hit streak.

It ended in the 2nd game of a DH last night.

Viciedo is headed to the futures game along with Gregory Infante.

Good to see Infante in this game. I haven't seen much of him, so this is a good opportunity.

I heard Ozzie on the radio yesterday. What the hell is his deal with talking about Viciedo like he sucks? It makes no sense whatsoever to verbally tear down your top prospect in the name of defending some guy who is not going to be here next year.

I've never heard that. In Ozzie's mind, there's no room for him since he's happy with Pierre, Rios, and Quentin in the outfield, and Dunn at DH.

Ozzie's problem isn't with Viciedo. Ozzie's problem is that he thinks Juan Pierre is good.

Ozzie's real problem is that he thinks Ozzie is right.

Isn't that the same kind of stuff Ozzie said about Beckham before he was called up?

Yes. He also said something about Santiago that I caught at the end of his presser yesterday that was cut off in the middle by Rongey and company, but it was something like "I don't like to talk about those minor league kids, they get me fired."

The Tank is 2-2 so far tonight with a double.

He also has a walk and a run scored.
