If Omar hasn't gotten somebody on a plane, train or automobile already he had better do so NOW! Kinda brings to mind the final days of Melvin Mora. Just as now, we had lost the starting SS (Ordonez) and the backup (Abbott) to injuries and had a lack of ready alternatives forcing an unfamiliar guy to start. And just like now its being exposed in an interleague series at Boston. That, like this, was also a pennant year. The difference is that Mora was a prospect, this guy is a fill-in, and we can be even more certain that what we see is pretty close to what he is.

Mora could at least hit.

"See that fellow over there? In ten years he has a chance to be the third baseman for the Orioles. Now, that fellow over there, in ten years he has a chance to be 46."

Boys and girls, he was trying to show us what happens when you actually touch third base when rounding it.
