Cintron is Here
Baltimore Sun says we sent down McCrory. I expect Cintron in the line-up tonight with Boom Boom and B-Rob taking the day off. I expected Salazar, but with B-Rob's foot injury, they were forced to bring Cintron up. Boom Boom, you are officially on the clock, if you don't produce then your competition is already here.

yeah, not really...
i mean, cintron is more of hernandez replacement/roberts understudy. he’s pretty strictly a middle infield guy, while bynum is kind of a bizarro (or even a poor man’s?) chone figgins. he can play middle infield AND competently hold down the jay payton role in outfield, but he’s got decent power as opposed to chone’s on-base skills.
