Gonsalves doesn't have anything to prove in AA IMO. Nor does Gordon. I realize this will be resolved quickly. It's still a weird assignment to start the season.
No doubt. 3,000 hits may start looking impossible like the pitching milestones we're accustomed to. Especially if teams continue to phase out mid-30 year old players in favor of prospects.
If Zach Duke was 23 years old he would have been pulled 3 batters ago. But, you know, wiley veteran. Saturday is another day. I don't know what it is about April but Buxton continues to chase breaking balls in the dirt.
