Churchill on Balentien

Balentien regains form
Outfielder adjusts after demotion, having hot July
At the end of the season's first month, the Mariners called up outfielder Wladimir Balentien for a big league audition. The club was beginning what is sure to ultimately become a rebuilding process after a disastrous start to the 2008 campaign, and was looking to find out just how much its farm system had to offer.

Balentien struggled between flashes of power in Seattle, hitting just .196 with 35 strikeouts in 117 plate appearances, and was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma on June 16.
He's turned that around.

Well, then i'm not going to comment on it either :)

I can respect what a long time it is between now and 9/16 for employees of the Appleton Baseball Club.

(I lied though, i posted plenty in the Post Depresent and i'm sure i'll have to crack back on some idiot johnny-come-lately's tomorrow morning...)

Looking forward to Saturday night!!! WAR RATTLERS!!!
