| Player Notes |
|
June 30, 2008 Miguel Olivo homered on an 0-2 George Sherrill pitch to force extra innings on Monday night. The home run was the ninth of the season for the Royals' catcher. Our View:Olivo pinch hit for Mark Teahen tying the game at five leading to a 6-5 extra inning win for the never-say-die Royals |
|
June 13, 2008 Miguel Olivo continues to receive at-bats, even in National League parks where the designated hitter isn't used. Olivo is starting at catcher and will square off against Diamondbacks starter Doug Davis. Our View:Olivo is 2-8 against Davis. At-bats he received while playing for the Florida Marlins. |
|
June 9, 2008 Miguel Olivo went 2-for-4 and hit a two-run homer in Monday's 3-2 win over the Yankees. Our View:He has eight homers and 25 RBI over 41 games played, and raised his average to .289. |
|
May 26, 2008 Miguel Olivo went 1-for-3 and collected his 20th RBI of the season in Monday's 7-2 loss to Toronto. Olivo also registered his second stolen base of the season. He started the game at catcher. Our View:That was his 12th RBI in May, and he is hitting .339 (18-for-53) in the month as well. He should continue to see more playing time while he is hot. |
|
May 22, 2008 Miguel Olivo went deep for the sixth time on Thursday as he had three hits and five RBI for the Royals in their loss to the Red Sox. Our View:Olivo has been a very productive bat this season with 19 RBI in just 90 AB as he continues to split time with John Buck. Buck has only two home runs in 109 AB with 14 RBI, so Olivo just might be earning himself a few extra starts with his bat. |
