Lourdes Gurriel Jr. strums his bat like a guitar to the music blaring from the loud speakers while he waits his turn in batting practice.
When the Backstreet Boys hit "I Want It That Way" comes on, he and Buffalo Bisons teammate Cavan Biggio take turns singing some of the lyrics out loud.
The young Cuban infielder, with his signature hair that sticks straight up like leaves on a pineapple, has become known for his cheerful personality around the Blue Jays clubhouse. "Every player when they bring you into the office and tell you you have to go down , it's a little different feeling," Gurriel said this week.
Gurriel's bat has been proving too potent for pitchers in the International League, where he's acheiving team-highs in batting average and runs batted in through 14 games. His four homers are second behind the six Biggio has hit over 25 games."The last four games in Toronto I was feeling ," Gurriel said. "Basically I continued to do the same thing here as I was there."
