I heard he was just recently traded to the Texas Rangers, though. He only started to get recognition the past couple years, since they had Darrel Porter and another guy (forgot his name) ahead of him, but he had started to prove himself at the plate though, hitting over .270 last year in a semi- full time role. He also had a good playoff series this past year against the Detroit Tigers, hitting over .300 I think. I was quite surprised of his trade to Texas as I thought he had finally made a place for himself at K.C. He is not of superstar caliber, but is what you would call a solid ballplayer who can hold himself defensively, and has proven he can hit major league pitching. Some of you more diehard baseball fans have probably heard of him. I wish him the best of luck in the Texas organization. ----- Bruce Kovalsky ..!trwrb!trwspp!spp2!kovalsky "How do you make a small fortune in the stock market?" "Start with a large fortune."
