Tin Man Returns to Cedar Rapids Giants Lineup
The strongest outfielder from last year's Cedar Rapids Giants returns Monday night to start a seven game homestand. John Laubhan, last summer’s regular right fielder in the Big Mac Attack, will join the roster in Davenport for the opener. Manager Jack Mull notes he’s likely a better right fielder than center fielder but the Giants want Craig Landis in right and Laubhan is an above average outfielder who led the league in double plays with eight and tied a league record by appearing in 133 games. Nicknamed The Tin Man.
