We lost the series, kids, but face it: these are some damn respectable offensive numbers. If anything, this series showed just how much we missed Donnelly in the bullpen. With the big D in there, we would be walking out of this series with a win, by virtue of cleaning up on the first game. How many times did the bullpen choke in that game, three times? Sheesh.

Comments:
"Halter isn't as bad as advertised."Wha-wha-what!? Even the small sample size shows that he was awful with the bat this series. I'm actually ok with his anemic bat- it's his defense that makes him truly worthless. He's not even a good glove/no hit guy! We're far better off with Amezaga in the lineup.
 
Richard: Halter could be Eckstein or Amezega. He is an infield reserve, not a mainstay.
 
I'm getting so tired of this notion that Halter will flourish if you limit his PT. There's nothing there! He’s not competent with the glove or the bat. Amezaga can fill the same role, put up the same offensive numbers, and be plus defensively.

Give me one example of how Halter helps this team. Please enlighten me, because I'm just not seeing it.
 
Richard, nobody said he was going to flourish, just that he's not supposed to get extended playing time. Amezega isn't going to help us that much, either. The problem at the moment is that we have to play both.
