Olerud on Petagine
The Globe had an article on Roberto Petagine, and I gotta say, John Olerud sounds quite gracious about a guy who could potentially take away his job:
The Globe had an article on Roberto Petagine, and I gotta say, John Olerud sounds quite gracious about a guy who could potentially take away his job:
''That hit the other night [against Minnesota] was a huge hit with the bases loaded," Olerud said. ''When you get called up -- I mean, he's putting up some unbelievable numbers in Triple A -- when you get up you really tend to press a little bit. You want to make a big impact right away. I'm sure he'd like to be swinging the bat better, but I think he's doing a great job."I guess it's Olderdude's job to know how his potential replacement is hitting in triple-A, but still, those are nice things to say.
With the way Roberto's fielding, I doubt Olderdude has to worry. Pet-a-genie looked like he'd never even worn a glove before. Have the Pawsox been using him as DH all year, or what?
