OF NOTE:
“For context of new INF Jeff Keppinger striking out only 142 times in 2,287 career plate appearances, consider that CF B.J. Upton struck out 161 times in 640 appearances last season.”

Today is a slow baseball day....
raystank: But, Jeff Keppinger’s contract got finalized and he was signed for $ 1.25 million. Ballin’ on a budget! Batting against left-handed pitching at the bottom of the batting order problem solved.
