Hi, Indiansfan, you always give out thoughtful posts and I would appreciate if you could answer those 2 questions.

1)Why is Ryan Garko hitting so well?
I remember he has a 2-3 month skid where he hits around .230 in AAA. Was it just frustration that he wasn't call up or did he change anything when he was called up that made him turn his season around once called up.

2)why isn't Kouzmanoff playing more?
Cleveland's season is done, they are not playing for next year. Then why is Jason Michaels still taking PA away from future guys like Choo and Kouzmanoff who is going to contribute more towards the future than Michaels who is probably gone after this year. Kouzmanoff is not doing so well in limited AB in the majors. But given time, he can probably hit .280 with power. Right?

Thanks in advance for the response
