1B-C Eduardo Valencia has also been red hot for the Mud Hens. Valencia went 4-4 last night with 2 homers and 6 RBIs. He was 3-5 today with a double, a walk and an RBI. It's too bad Valencia is such a bad defensive catcher because he's probably a better
hitter than Jake Rogers. Valencia would be better suited as a 1B/DH.
Jace Jung also hit his 14th homer today and drove in 4 runs.
Both Valencia and Jung are on the 40-man roster so they both could be called up without having to DFA anyone but they are both kind of blocked in Detroit.
I suppose Valencia could replace Jones as the righty DH. Jung is stuck behind Keith, McKinstry and now Lee.
