Phil Gosselin wasn’t blind to his struggles with the Pirates this season. He wasn’t hitting at the level he has in the past. And there were a couple of costly defensive miscues. Being optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on May 8 wasn’t ideal, but far from the end of the world. Gosselin is approaching the move down a level as an opportunity to fix himself.
So far, he appears to be figuring things out. Gosselin is hitting .405/.435/.500 in 12 games with Indianapolis and has not committed an error in the field.
