While the Tartan's have struggled this season, 48-96 going into play today, there has been one bright spot on the Major League roster. 1B Gary Bellhorn has 41 HRs, 109 RBI, and a .368 OBP in 495 ABs this season. Bellhorn, just 26, has played well enough to warrant consideration of making the roster next season, when Atlanta is expected to revamp the ML squad.
Bench Coach Anthony Ashburn had this to say, " in a season where management has left me with my hands tied, Gary has been one of the few guys that deserves to be in the line-up."
