Nava-gation
Allright, allright, no more last-name puns for a while, but here is the latest on Daniel Nava's progress with the Lancaster Jet Hawks as the former Outlaws dynamo and 2007 GBL MVP continues to make an impact in the Red Sox farm system. Just like last year at this time, Nava is hitting the ball consistently well and would be among the California League's top 10 if he had the minimum 172 at-bats required.
Here is how Nava stacks up with league leader Pablo Sandoval, who all you Giants freaks reading this thing might take note is having a stellar fifth season in San Jose as a Single-A catcher and is still just 21 years old...
