Or at least never wants to visit there again as a member of the Express. It is going to be real interesting to see what the team does when Pence comes back from his injury in a few weeks. My guess is that you don't see Pence back until September anyhow and at that point rosters will have expanded. However, if Pence is back before the end of August, Bruntlett or Lane will be the obvious choices.
It shouldn't be EB as he is playing some of the best ball I have ever seen him play. Sparkling defensive plays in the field and now some clutch hitting. Last night he robs one of the many obscure Marlin hitters of an HR with a leaping catching at the centerfield wall. Oh by the way, it was only his second time in CF this year. The night before he comes up with a clutch tw0-run double in the sixth inning to put the Astros up for good in the game.
Now you have Lane hitting the ball hard again like he did in 2005 which muddies the Astros OF picture even more. There's not enough ABs for these guys right now. It's clear Purpura needs to try and get something for Lamb and Loretta so they can start opening up playing time for guys like Lane and Luke Scott and begin building something going into 2008.
