Well, Edwin Maysonet beat him to the Majors, but Drew Sutton may be there to stay.
Called up to replace Jared Burton, Drew Sutton will join the Reds from Triple-A Louisville.
Reading the Cincinnati Enquirer's recap makes me sad:
Sutton was hitting .254/.388/.492 with five home runs and 19 RBI in 130 at-bats for the Louisville. He spent time on the DL with mono right after the Reds got him.
He can play all four infield positions and he's a switch-hitter.
Sutton had a breakout season in 2008, hitting .315 for Corpus Christi with 20 home runs and 20 steals. He was Corpus Christi’s Most Valuable Player and was a Texas League All-Star. He led the Astros organization in a number of offensive categories, including batting average, hits, runs, walks, doubles and extra-base hits.
Give credit to Easy Eddie for trading a guy with mono, though. Best of luck to him.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
