Betancourt
30 May 2008
Tuesday, Seattle Manager John McLaren elected to have Jeremy Reed pinch hit for Yuniesky Betancourt. Reed is 3-for-15 on the season, while Yuni is batting .285 (3rd best on the M's). Reed ended up advancing the runner to third base and Jose Lopez hit a game-winning single, but I still do not understand the rationale for this move. Yuniesky has been one of the more consistent hitters in the Mariner's lineup, yet McLaren seems to have no faith in him in a clutch situation.

the Mariners have been suprised with the production from middle infielders Jose Lopez and Yuniesky Betancourt. Betancourt is hitting .429 and leading the mariners in that category. While, Lopez is leading the Mariners with RBI's with five.
