Kerry Robinson? I heard on the radio last night that Grudz was teaching him to bunch in batting practice.

TEACHING HIM TO BUNT.

He is a light-hitting, speed outfielder. He's probably played 10 years of professional baseball - and he can't even bunt? Not to mention judge a fly ball or remember to wear sunglasses?

Sending a hot, young player down and keeping a .250 hitting old guy would be the dumbest thing since New Coke.

Whatever - I'm not sold on Costa. I don't think he'll amount to anything more than a 4th outfielder. I don't really care for Kerry Robinson, but the way he has played over the last 2 weeks - how can you send him back down over Costa? Maybe later once he cools off. But that would be just like the Royals to send down some of the guys who have provided pop over the last week to make room for the injured guys coming back who have done squat other than contribute to the collective lifelessness of this team.

I'm not saying we're a great team now, or even better than we were at the start of the year, but at least they are playing like they care. And until that ends, let's not mess it up - except for the fact that Minkeivicz (sp) has no business being in the lineup, let alone batting 3rd.
