Today:
* in an 11 run outburst vs the Brewers, Alex Gonzalez goes 0/4.
* in a 10 run outburst vs the Orioles, Yunel Escobar goest 3/4, HR 5rbi.
Since the deal (sure, only 4 games so far):
Gonzalez: 3/13. 1 double.
Escobar: 6/13. and today's power #s.
In a lineup that is filled with home run power and home run strategy, Escobar will get more to hit and should see a much more productive second half (kinda like Alex's first half, no?). Gonzalez moves to a pitching and defense slanted Bravos squad who is getting too much production from cleanup man Troy Glaus
.
Good luck the rest of the way and all, Bravos, but this is the kinda deal you'll remember for years.
