Hamond Update 2/11/2016

Not much happening at Hammond, today. The best hitter on the day looked like Plouffe. Arcia,

with huge diamond (or fake) earings in both ears swinging upper cut high fly balls. Watched

Byung Ho Park quite a bit. He has very wide stance, then brings his front leg back until both

knees almost touch, then strides out to meet the ball. Reminds me of a right side Tony Oliva.

Speaking of Oliva, lotsa talk about Sano moving to the outfield. Tony was not the greatest

outfielder, either. He took long strides and it took him a while to catch up to fly balls.

His throws were of the high arching rainbow variety. Also, Killebrew

spent parts of 3 years playing left field. In the later innings they would take him out,

move Lenny Green to left and put Bill Tuttle in center.

I had a nice visit with a family from Burnsville, in fact I missed an autograph from Park,

because he signed a few before the others left the field and we were talking. Later
