DJ and Hamas, I've seen Munoz make 3 defensive spectacular plays in his last 3 games. He has made all the routine plays except for the flip to 1B from 3 yards away. Is this just a good run for him? Or do you guys still see him as lacking the defensive skills to be a regular starting player at the big show?
Do you guys see anything different in O'Neill this time up? Is he better? It looks like he is laying off that outside sliders that caused him to have all those strikeouts. I knew he was fast but it looks like he is also taking the correct routes going full speed to go get a ball too. Taking the ball with 2 strikes where its pitched instead of trying to pull it into a DP.

Small sample size, but what strikes me as somewhat different with ONeill this time around is he seems “quieter” at the plate, which for me is different than just patience. Now we are yet to see some real damage, but if they keep playing him that should come. Again small sample size, but the game seems to have slowed down for him a bit.
I think Munoz has grown as a hitter. I think he fits best in a Descalso type role, although we already have that in Garcia who also hits left handed. In Munoz defense, he has apparently played all over the field in the past. Not many people can be good at multiple positions especially at the big league level. If he played everyday at one position I think you would see some improvement.
