"The San Francisco Giants finally got the power they've been seeking to shake up their offense. It just came from an unlikely source. Eugenio Velez, who was recalled from the minors a day earlier, homered for the first time in nearly a year and added a tiebreaking RBI double in the sixth inning and the Giants stayed hot at home with a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.
"He's got all the tools," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's been swinging the bat well in [the minors] and he brought it up here. Sometimes it takes time, playing time, for all that to surface." |
Oh for pitchers to blow it by him with that long swing.
"The Giants have searched far and wide for offense at second base and it won't likely stop at Velez. After all, Velez has a meager .255/.296/.372 careeer batting line. Look for the Giants to try to upgrade the position before Friday's deadline."
2 career jacks in 326 AB's? Utility players who have done worse?
