Quick followup, part five
"In today’s offense-minded world, it’s nice to see that you can get a spot in the lineup playing both sides of the ball: you can hit it, and you can catch it."
The player they’re discussing — Ryan Raburn — is hitting .288 / .352 / .533 / .885, including 2-for-2 so far tonight. Sure, he’s good in the field, too, but this is not your slap-hitting utility infielder. Ryan Raburn is all the Tigers have going for them on offense other than the Drunken Master.
For comparison, Evan Longoria is OPSing .889 this year. But thank God he can catch the ball, too, or they might not put him in the lineup!
