Luis Valbuena

Luis Valbuena has found himself in the lineup everyday at short and 2nd base. He has never been a regular shortstop, ever. For whatever reason Wedge really likes this kid. The problem is he hasn't hit anything. Wedge says the numbers lie and that Valbuena is putting up good at bats but if your slugging, on base, and batting average are all under .300, along with 30 strikeouts(only 15 hits) in 80 at bats I would like to know how the numbers lie. He doesn't have one good offensive stat. I really think they are doing this just to spite Josh Barfield, who has seen less action than reserve 1st baseman/catcher Chris Gimenez.
