After last nights game he is hittiing .333 with 5 runs and 5 steals and two of the best catches of the year.  Sam is getting a chance to play full time this year after being traded form the Chicago Cubs in the off-season and with the recent retirement of Manny Ramirez.  Good luck to Sam for through the rest of the season.
