The Lambo's are coming, The Lambo's are coming

Well, just one Lambo really.  By popular demand the number 1 slugger in the minor leagues as far as home runs go is soon to make his appearance in Pittsburgh as Right Fielder/First Baseman.  Most likely he will make the majority of his appearances in right field.

Andrew has played 58 games for Altoona and 59 games for Indy in 2013.  In his time in double and triple A this year he had 97 RBIs and a .284 average in addition to the 31 homers in 117 games.

The Pirates, despite a need for some productivity from the right field position, and first base, for that matter have been hesitant to call Lambo up despite his power numbers.  The fans have been calling for his promotion, which usually doesn't mean a thing, and probably didn't in this case either.  But, you can't overlook those home runs and for whatever reason the Pirates have decided to bring him up.  Kind of a funny bit of information about Lambo and his outstanding numbers this year is that he is not among the Pirates top 20 prospects.  

We will see what comes of his promotion.  I'm hoping he gets a chance to play and comes through.  It sure would be nice to add some Home Runs to the lineup.  I just hope he's half as good as the Andrew in Center Field.
