How did D'Arnaud look in the field?

His hitting stats suggest he’s a genuine prospect.

Viva Clemente!

That was the first time I’d seen him play. He was at second and had maybe two routine plays to make.

I saw him a few times playing for the Power

He looked smooth, fluid, and confident and flashed an adequate arm. His range was probably average at best though.

What kind of camera do you have? and do you take pictures professionally? Just curious.

by lfhlaw on Sep 3, 2009 5:06 PM EDT reply actions  

Only ask, because you got pretty good pictures and mine never turn out that good lol.

Canon EOS Rebel XSi with an EF 70-300mm lens. I’m really just learning to use the thing. I got it primarily to shoot birds and scenery, but it works well for this.

Thanks for the photos. Great to see what these players look like in action.
