Who da man? Stu da man!
On any good team, and even some not-so-good ones, there’s a guy like Stu Musslewhite. He’s the guy who you place in the open spot in the lineup knowing that you can give the normal starter a day off and not lose a whole heckuva lot on offense or defense. While Stu’s not burning up the SAL offensively, he’s not killing the Shorebirds either because his hits seem to be timely. Last season with the Shorebirds Stu was among the leaders with 53 RBI’s, quietly racking up decent numbers despite only having a .237 average.
So far this season Stu has started games at third base, shortstop, and behind the plate. One game he caught was a complete seven-inning game (a 3-hitter) by Brad Bergesen so obviously he’s learned a bit about catching in his short time there. (Last season he played almost exclusively infield.) Unfortunately, all that bouncing around may be affecting his plate performance since he’s hitting just .194 thus far in 39 games. Strangely enough, Perdue Stadium is killing his average as he’s only 6-for-56 at home, while he’s a very respectable .265 hitter away from Delmarva.
Hopefully Stu can get the bat going in front of the home folks and bring that average up to a better level. With this onetime TCU product turning 25 later this season, it may be put up or shut up time for him careerwise.
WOW!
