While Akron's overall record is phenomenal, their lineup could use a bit of a jolt, and McBride could do just that.
Does this mean John Drennen has officially hit the end of the road? I have to assume Mills still sees most of the action at first, with McBride seeing most of his time in the outfield.
Wonder if he'll get "Wedged". Given a promotion just so he can watch games, see ex: LaPorta, Matt.
I look forward to seeing if McBride can continue his hot start. Hope this trend continues of the Indians promting guys along a little quicker in the season, instead of waiting too long. Maybe they can also clean up the scrap heap of "veteran" picthing at Columbus.
Yep, Drennen is officially gonzo to Kinston. McBride will be in RF tonight, and will primarily play OF though he will get some time at 1B.
