Despite Walt Jocketty and Dusty Baker's promises to get Paul Janish lots of playing time, so he can continue to develop...he's been sighted about as often as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. He's pinch-run and got a stint as a LIDR, but hasn't had a single at-bat so far. That will change tonight; Dusty's put him in the starting lineup.
Nice to see Dusty knows Janish is alive, but honestly, Dusty drives me crazy, the way he uses his players. Not having a single at bat in over a week is not a recipe for success. Also, Janish is much better against lefties than against righties, but Dusty puts him in against a righty...for his first at-bat in over a week.
Hopefully he'll play well tonight. If he doesn't, we may not see him again for weeks. :-P
