"He had some injuries last year. His numbers were a little bit down last year because of injury, but when he gets on a roll, and here he's not swinging particularly well to start the season, yet he's still hitting homers, and big homers. He'll find a streak where he gets really hot, too. He's the type of guy that can carry a team, so he was a big pickup for us."

So that at-bat I didn't want that to happen again so I geared up for a heater and I got it." Plouffe is batting .216.
