For me I just wanted a strong finish to see the young talent could contribute to wins next season. Ken Thomas had a much better second sim after his call up with 3 multi hit games in the last 7. Pat Gordon came up and hit .310 with 3 hrs and 9 RBIs. MacIntosh had a strong first season. Kirby, whose still only 21, hit .280 with 24 HR and 92 RBI. Duarte put up real solid power numbers despite having no protection behind him most of the season. As the line up matures, should be really solid. Al Jones has good power for the lower third of the line up where he will be long term. So I am at least moving in a forward direction, slowly.
