July 29, 2008 Seattle rookie designated hitter Bryan LaHair was a star of the show in tonight's 11-10 loss to the Rangers, going 3-for-4 with his second home run of the season, posting one RBI and three runs scored on the night.
Our View:That's six consecutive games with hits for the rook, going deep in each of the last two.
July 18, 2008 Outfielder Bryan LaHair, who was recently recalled from the minors, will get a look at first base, now and for the immediate future, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Manager Jim Riggleman said, "We just want to see what he can do. He's done some pretty good things in the minor leagues the last couple years, and he's going to have a chance to hit off major league pitching here and hopefully take advantage of it."
Our View:He batted .263 for Triple-A Tacoma this season, with 53 RBI, 26 doubles and 12 homers in 85 games. Being an option at first will give him more chances to play, and he is worth taking a shot on in AL-only leagues if you are in need of a corner infielder.
July 17, 2008 Bryan LaHair has been called up to the Seattle Mariners.
Our View:LaHair has produced on every level in the minors and he's finally getting his chance. He could earn starts over Miguel Cairo soon.
