Robert, Encarnacion ang TA have all gone deep in these inter squad games. When will we hear from Jimenez and Abreau? I like how Mercedes is swinging the hot bat and how Vaughn is soaking it all in. I pray that Moncada gets up to speed quickly so that the seeming hole in third base gets patched up quickly
