Agree, he is far from polished but he has pretty great stuff. I think that was his second real bad game of the year in 12 starts.
Hopefully Lawrie isn't pushed back too far with the injury. I think he is coming up to stay once he gets here and will make the rest of the season way more interesting with his all out style. Him and Lind in the lineup gives the team way more options strategically too.
I just hope when that time comes that Thames doesn't get sent down and Encarnacion gets the boot instead. Thames looks like a major league bat already, just consistently solid ABs and he didn't look horrible in left either. Will be interesting because they definitely have a choice to make there.
