Brandon Laird impresses in Triple-A debut

This man is batting 1.000 in Triple-A.

His name is Brandon Laird. I spoke of him recently here on the blog. The post was about whether Chad Tracy was trapping Laird in Double-A. Well, a couple days after Tracy opted out of his contract, that question was answered as Laird got the call and had himself quite a debut for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

First AB: Solo homer to right
Second AB: Leadoff single
Third AB: Leadoff single, scored on Chad Huffman’s homer
Fourth AB: Two-out, solo homer to give his team the lead

Not. Too. Shabby.

Congrats to the 22-year-old, and check back here for more updates on this promising infielder.
