2nd half bat

[Big Mike]

Looking for a Ryan-Braun-rookie-season 2nd half (although it doesn't have to be a rookie). Morse and Rizzo come to mind. Howard and/or Utley maybe. What do you guys think of that group and can you add some others? Thanks in advance!

[Big Mike]

Manny Ramirez?

[Captain Hook]

Rizzo or Arenado amongst the minor leaguers

Howard among the injured

[Wrigley]

Matt Adams

Grabbed Adams, missed Rizzo. Keep the ideas coming!

[Captain Hook]

Very speculative....BUT the Diamondbacks need to make some changes unless they start at immediate winning streak and one position of weakness is third base.........meanwhile Josh Bell (former Dodger prospect, traded to Baltimore and then acquired by Arizona) is on a tear at AAA Reno, hitting .380 with four HR and 30 RBI

[Captain Hook]

BINGO!

Diamondbacks recalled Bell today

That's pretty amazing, Hook.

probably good advice at the time, but now that Berkman looks to eventually be back (meniscus, not ACL) ... not so much.

Berkman won't be back for six weeks - at best

With Craig also out this is Adams chance to establish himself - he has the power
