The parting words of James Loney (for the time being)

With the today's call-up of Nomar Garciaparra from his rehab assignment in Triple-A Las Vegas, James Loney (a.k.a J-Lo) is headed in the opposite direction.

While I cannot readily locate the exact link to his parting words before boarding the bus to Nevada, James did say something to the line of: "It's been good to know that I belong here (Dodgers)".

Truly, the 21-year old is the future of the franchise at 1B. At the moment though, he needs to work on his hitting, patience and overall pitch selection. In the words of skipper Grady Little:

"I see a kid that got a good opportunity here for a couple weeks.
He's made a good showing, but he still needs to continue to try
to get better, and that takes time. I think what will dictate
this kid's future is going to be what he does with that bat."
