I had forgotten about Randy Ruiz. He was absolutely on fire that month!

Heh, he brought up some old Wilner stuff.
http://blog.rogersbroadcasting.com/mike ... /#commentsI have seen Jose Bautista, Aaron Hill, Randy Ruiz, Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay look very good so far. Granted, it’s stupid early, but it’s better to look good than not. I still don’t understand why the way has been paved for Bautista to have an everyday job, but they can’t find a spot to give Ruiz a legitimate chance to play. Ruiz is older and far weaker defensively, but he’s had nothing but success as a major-league hitter. Bautista has had many years of mediocre offensive production in the big leagues.

The original Alex Gonzalez, and Homer Bush are both obvious additions.

LOL I remember that.
Probably one of Wilner's more forgettable moments (or memorable, depends on how you look at it).
Granted, hindsight, and all that...
