The kids are here and they are good.
Remember the beginning of the spring when everyone thought Juan Yepez would be the starting DH and Paul Dejong would be out of the lineup? Well it took a while to get there, but here we are. Yepez’s bat is a fixture in the middle of the order, DeJong is in Triple-A, and Brendan Donovan has earned a large share of the playing time.
Beyond that, Andre Pallante has been a key contributor all season and Jake Walsh has impressed in his first two appearances. I’ll just focus on the hitters today because I’ve written enough (or maybe too much) about Andre Pallante this season and Jake Walsh has only made two appearances.
