Rottino's splits

[homer]

Anybody check out Rottino's splits? Especially his numbers against lefties? He's hitting .357 with a .900 OPS against southpaws in 115ABs. He's been hitting well overall of late, but I was really surprised to see the big difference between lefties and righties.

Not a bad bench bat to have in September versus lefties, eh?! I'm all for him coming up in September unless the powers that be don't want to give him a 40-man spot until after the season.

It helps with the hot streak that Vinny is on. In his last 40 games, he's hitting like .400.

yeah, saw he's over .310 now.. sure is good to see.

Vinny was 4 for 5 last night to raise his average to .314. He has hit .381 since the all-star break.

 

Will he get a chance in Milwaukee before the end of the year?

[pogokat]

probably not...vinny's headed to fall bal, which generally means he misses the september callup...

 

vinny should have a shot at a bench spot in the spring...and i think his odds would be pretty good..

[DHonks]

both the Journal Sentinal and milwaukeebrewers.com have been quoting the front office as saying it's likely that Rottino gets called up.

For a team that can't score runs, I don't see why you don't at least give him a chance. I know there are reasons to keep him down, but when a guy is that hot, give him a shot.
