Amazingly, in his short time with the Pirates, Ishikawa managed to hit more home runs and drive in as many runs as Morneau did for the Pirates.

He played just as good of a first base as Morneau, too. Hey, Travis hit as many homers for the Bucs as Andrew McCutchen did in the same amount of time, and Travis did it in less at-bats! 😉

I really hope that he gets another shot at the big club as a bench bat. He hit well and did everything that was asked of him. I was skeptical when he was signed, but he did a good job for us in limited time.

His biggest limitation is that he only plays first base. It’s hard to keep a guy on the bench who can only play one position unless he’s the backup catcher.
