The Dark Horse

Brad Hawpe, the Rocks faithful right fielder with a rocket arm. I believe that he could be a force to recon with, and now that the Rocks are in the playoffs, he is needed. I have seen what he is capable of. He may have been in a slump for most of September, but he has been consistant ever sconce he came to the team. This is a proven fact because if he wasn't he would have been traded long ago. He is the dark horse of the Rocks line up. Most of the teams they face will over look him, a mistake. He has the power and influence to make an big impact when it is needed. He can hit homers; he can make clutch plays, but in the post season teams only look at batting avg. But just because he isn't batting .350 doesn't mean he isn't dangerous. I am making the prediction that Brad Hawpe will be a deciding factor in Rocktober 2009, or he will at least make a splash.
