Equally sucky In case you haven't noticed, Pina has been one of the team's best hitters lately, not to mention he's defensively superior to Kratz. 12 of his last 29 Good streak, crazy small sample size, but good streak. Kratz has had hot streaks as well, there honestly isn't much difference in the two to me. I think their both adequate back ups. So I'm fine if they're close to 50/50.
