Watching Andre Ethier play all the time is amazing. Overall, he has some of the best at bats you'll ever see. He can fall behind 0-2, and then the guy puts on a show. Takes anything out of the strike zone, and fouls off the good pitches that are strikes. Finally, he will usually get a walk, or a pitch he can drive somewhere. Of course, Manny just knocks the good pitches into the outfield. Loney is not quite as good at the plate as Ethier, but he's pretty good. The rest pretty much need the pitcher to make mistakes. Ethier is a lot better player than he showed in the post last year. Hopefully, he can handle it better the next chance he gets. Furcal threw a guy out at the plate tonite with an absolute strike from shallow center. Needs to hit better though(seems to need home cooking.) Swinging way too hard.
