Ruddy Lugo

[Guest AG/DC]

Ruddy Lugo...

... grew up a New Yorker, though born in the Dominican Republica.

... is a former gen-u-ine prospect, despite mixed results in the minors

... bit the big one in ten innings with Tampa last year after a pretty good 2006 and fell out of interest.

... is the brother of Julio Lugo who plays with the Sawx, and allegedly beat his wife in the parking lot in Houston.

... is historically a releiver in his big league life, but the Zephyrs have been starting him this year.

... has gone seven or more innings in each of his last three appearances, and five of his last seven.

... has his name pronounced 'Roody," according to what I've heard.

... wore 45 with the A's. I think the Mets had him on the pre-season roster in Armando's 49.

... has been known to dye his hair blonde.

... is listed as a righthanded batter in your encylopedia, but has been switch-hitting as a Zeph.

... batting lefthanded two weeks ago, plled one against Albuquerque over the left-center fence at Zephyr Field, the first home run by a Zephyrs pitcher since Donnie Bridges connected against Round Rock in July 2005.

... is the newest New York Met.

Who was the assaulter? I remember it as Julio but I think you left it open/ambiguous...

Sorry for the ambiguity. Julio, indeed.
