Craig Monroe finds his stroke

[IFallsRon]

Dude couldn't buy a hit with the Twins but comes up with three homers for Pittsburgh in a spring game against the locals.

But, didn't he do that when he was with the Tigers, and that is why the Twins signed him??

Who was pitching? He could have been facing some single A prospects who won't be major league ready for awhile.

I'm assuming he didn't just hit 3 dingers on 3 wicked Santana change-ups.

2 Off Scott Baker, 1 off of Mulvey

Mulvey??? Wasn't she a character on Seinfeld?

[LOTWSvirgin]

You watch he will go crazy hitting the ball just cause we got rid of him

[IFallsRon]

Mulva. Or Doris if you got the joke.

Well I'll give him a little credit then, but just a little.

Hitters always come around before the pitchers do in Spring Training. I've heard some pitches also talk about not caring if the guy hits it they are just trying to throw to a spot and if they hit the spot they are happy regardless of whether the batter hits it or not. They are more worried about control right now versus getting guys out.

It's spring training, let me see him do it during the regular season. Monroe is a nice guy, but his best years are probably behind him.

My sentiments exactly.
