Russo Up

Kevin Russo, who almost won the UT job coming out of ST got the call when Nick Johnson was put on the DL. Russo is a decent fielder at second, and a patient hitter would some pop. He'd been having bad luck so far this year, but don't be surprised if the promotion gives him a lift. He'll probably only be around until Cano can play everyday, at which point Miranda will probable replace Russo and become lefty platoon partners with Thames at DH. Interestingly, Russo has been playing some OF for SWB so far this year, so if he really rakes, maybe he can replace Winn on the roster. Good luck, Russo!
