Player Spotlight: Mr. Clutch
From his game winning double against the Cubbies to his spectacular game-tying homer in the ninth on Wednesday against the Tribe, Gabe Gross has come through in the best of times. He has definately earned the nickname “Mr. Clutch” this year. I think he has played well enough to earn an everyday roll in right, but then you don’t have anywhere for Eric Hinske. When Gabe Gross pinch-hits or gets his occasional start, he makes the most of it. A typical 8th inning defensive replacement has turned into a more than reliable pinch-hitter. Congrats Gabe, and thanks for the great finishes.
Reyes DFA’d
Al Reyes was inevitably released to make room for newly acquired Chad Bradford. He hasn’t been the same pitcher this year as he was last year.
