Notwithstanding PT/KR's dismissal of young Mr. Longoria's potential as  
"hardly encouraging", he appears to be off to a damned impressive start.   This 
just in from Baseball America:
 
"The Rays promoted both Evan Longoria and Reid Brignac from Single-A  Visalia 
to Double-A Montgomery after Wednesday's game.  Longoria, the third  overall 
selection in the 2006 draft, had a two-run double in his final game in  the 
California League. He hit .327/.402/.618 with eight homers and 28 RBI in 28  
games for Visalia."
 
Let's see......that's an rbi a game, more than 1 home run every four games  
and a .327 batting average.  Now I'd be the first to admit that this guy is  
certainly no "monster-talent" like, say....Joey Gathright, but is there really  
anyone other than PT/KR that wouldn't want this guy on their roster?
 
That is all.
