Unfortunately (or fortunately?) he's gone on to have success at the same division level so I likely made an incorrect call on him. I now present you with case number 2 Alfonso Sanchez be warned if you click this link you may end up distraught! Alfonso's efforts make Kato look like the second coming of Barry Bonds! I'm just about at my wits end with this guy who had a great introductory season for me and has since vomited everywhere non stop (even though he's improved markedly in that time). Thoughts?

That said, he is a solid defensive 2B so if your teams still coping ok and he's not blocking any prospects I'd hold him a while longer - it can only get better right?

Norris was consistently a sub .250 hitter for me until he popped to 15 in Bat Control a couple weeks back. Since then he's been on a tear.

I also don't really have a replacement at 2B so I'm going to be forced to hold onto him for a while. Likely at this stage I'll re-asses at the end of the season.

He has come into games 4 times, all as a pinch runner, and scored all 4 times. I literally couldn't ask for more, but the Raleigh order is just too packed. Dorsey Hicks May he find his way to a team that can give him the playing time he needs.
