other gm's think loretta is going back to houston
« on: December 05, 2007, 12:03:56 am »
According to JDJO:

Two days after the Astros offered arbitration to utility infielder Mark Loretta, some in baseball are predicting he'll return to Houston.

"I guess they got him back," Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said of Loretta. The Rockies had flirted with Loretta.

And Kaz ain't so good against LHP...Loretta rakes LHP.

For some reason, I see Loretta getting plenty of PT.  Serious injuries, nagging injuries, days off, etc.  Sort of like Jose Vizcaino did every year.

At his age, he might be more effective in a part time role. He kinda wore down playing every day at short for AE last year.

Agreed.  Loretta was great for the first 250 at bats.

He was great again in September as his ABs went back down.
