Sure, the sample size is small. I usually don't take a change in performance seriously until it has been sustained for 400 or so at bats. I've talked about Pena in other threads. Maybe I have a weak spot for him. But he looks to be a much stronger hitter to me now than he was with the Yankees. Not that I saw him a lot when he was the Yankees. We'll see.

Had he not been hurt last year, he would have approached 400 plate appearances. The Braves loved his contributions in 2013.

But he was hurt and he didn't. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if the Braves' love of his contributions will be justified.

Fredi on the matchup with Wainwright: "When you have good pitching, and not good hitting its better than good hitting with no pitching. In that case good pitching beats good pitching, unless you can't score runs so hitting beats good pitching. That's where we are at as a team right now."

Fredi on sitting Uggla: "Danny's our second baseman, now, next year, and in the future, I will just put it as that. He's in a little funk right now, but we know what he's capable of, what he can do. I look forward to putting him in the lineup another 120 times or so this year"

Otherwise I'm going to assume you're just trolling.

Looking at 130 ABs is not something I personally judge players on.

If that were the case, Charlie Blackmon for MVP.

and how many AB's for Pastor to lead you to think he is better? There's plenty of AB's for Uggla, that's for sure, and it hard to draw any conclusions where Uggla is better than anyone who can fog a mirror.
 
Minor's giving up the long ball so far this year, which is normal for him, but he needs to keep that crap under control. 1 run is good for Wainwright, need to put up some more good at-bats this inning!
