Its really great to have a battle in left with Snider and Thames. I'm not sold on either of them, but there has to be a decent chance that we can keep one of them playing at a MLB level for the year. I still have a lot of faith in Snider. When he keeps his hands low he seems to have good bat speed and is able to generate a fair bit of power. When he has it going he has a great line-drive swing. However, at other times he looked completely lost and off-balance. Hopefully he can remain focused and do something with all that potential of his.
This is a huge season for Rasmus and Lind. This has to be the final time in either of their careers that they are just handed a starting spot. If they don't do something with this opportunity then they will be stuck as bit players unless they have a major turnaround. Lets see what you got, boys!
