Nice to hear that you are pleased, however, when he got to Cinti., all we had to do was throw a lefty against him. Then he is DONE! he may need a little more seasoning, and at 30, he had better season fast! I agree, that he can hit righties hwever.

When the experiment was announced, I assumed there was no way it would last all season; I can’t even imagine the amount of work that must have been required on the part of Schumaker and Jose Oquendo to actually make it a success.
{Side note: part of what was fun about watching Schumaker last year was that it was a very rare opportunity to actually see a player learn at the major league level: it was almost as if you could see his brain ticking over each time he successfully dealt with a relatively tough chance.}
