Big Mac homers and picks up a couple outfield assists

That is what you get when you try to run against the man.

Looks like the battle for LF is heating up

Who is it going to be in LF? Sledge Hammer, Big Mac, or Joser? They are all being given the chance to have the most at bats so newbie manager Bud Black can get a good sample of how well they will fare come this regular season. Sledge just recently hit a grand slam and is in the lead for the moment. But Pat McAnulty is also making a strong bid for the spot by hitting the ball hard and playing some tight defense.n They both get on bases almost half the time and are leading the team in OPS. If the season were to start at this very instant I say put Sledge out in left and keep big Mac hanging around. Do whatever it takes to keep him on the roster. Even if it means someone else has to go. We need that power off the bench. If Bud Black's coaching style is anywhere near Bochy's, then even the pinch hitters will get a lot of at bats as the season progresses.  Hey maybe if we keep the left fielders around they will feel compelled to challenge and outdo each other and play top notch baseball. If everyone stays healthy this could make for a fun season.
