Felipe Lopez

Since I didn't make mention of it earlier, he's my thoughts.

I don't like the signing. Yes, Brendan Ryan hasn't been good and we needed to do something in the middle infield; Lopez has been just as bad and LaRussa's stuck him in left field. Even if he plays well, he won't help the infield situation.

I'd be happier if they moved some people thru waivers (see the next post) to give him playing time. Instead, they send Ryan down to cut into the development time of David Freese, Jarrett Hoffpauir, and Tyler Greene - 3 guys that have the same, if not more, potential then Ryan and Lopez.
