What happened, Jon?
How is it that the best hitting hurler in baseball is now a Red?
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

He was traded for Adam Dunn, for the stretch run last year. Micah is better served going the Rick Ankiel route, and learning how to play the outfield.

Re: What happened, Jon?
Because the best hitting hurler should be a right fielder.
Dude has a CAREER average of .321, and has 6 HR's in his last 134 AB's. Yeah, that's SIX MORE than Big Papi. He strikes out about 2/3 less than Reynolds or Dunn, and has a .582 slugging percentage and .934 OPS. Meanwhile, he's got a 5.08 ERA this year (career 4.98), and a 1.55 WHIP. He's playing out of position.
