Best Day in 2010: Hu did next to nothing in 2010 at the big league level. Indeed, he had little opportunity to. But he did manage to double, score, and collect an RBI that certainly proved
a difference-maker in a September 29 victory over Colorado.
Last Word: Hu wore 14 as a Dodger and assigned 17 as a Met, so has the distinction of wearing the numbers of two of the most legendary defensive firstbasemen, both of which numbers
have factions calling for the retirement thereof. (Did I say that right?) While there is competition for his spot, he's probably a better defender than the others and is most claimable should
the Mets try to sneak him down, so he has a darn good chance of making the roster if they (a) shed Luis Castillo, (b) farm out Daniel Murphy, or (c) return Brad Emaus to his prior team. But
he also was once an MVP of the Futures Game. Check him out.
That should provide adequate sustenance for the Doctor Hu marathon. What do you expect of Chin-lung Hu in 2011?
