Izzy's Little Brother, D-Mac Near The Bigs?
Cesar Izturis' little brother is playing for the Expos AAA team:
Izturis, whose older brother Cesar plays shortstop for the Dodgers, is hitting .324-0-10 in 136 at-bats this season. Billed as a classic No. 2 hitter, he has made the jump to the leadoff spot. That move has been a little tougher to deal with, though he's handled it well statistically. He had 25 walks and just 10 strikeouts, posting a .429 on-base percentage.Montreal, the best 4A club in the majors. Sheesh. In that same article:...
A slash-type hitter who makes good consistent contact at the plate, Izturis could find himself in Montreal soon if the club decides to deal Cabrera this season.
Double-A Arkansas third baseman Dallas McPherson might be the next player in the Angels' system to head to Anaheim. McPherson is hitting .305-8-35 in 177 at-bats for the Travelers. While his plate discipline has improved, he still has fanned 50 times this season. Defensively, he cut down on his errors last year and has 10 in 45 games thus far. There was talk about moving him to right field, but that has since died down with the arrival of Vladimir Guerrero. His chances of moving up were enhanced by the shoulder injury that ended Troy Glaus' season.Please, God, no. The last thing we need is to wreck a kid by calling him up too early.
