Upside means everything apparently and experience is worth nothing. We should have all young guys on the field and in the bullpen. Manny should get 34 starts and pitch 210+ innings or until he grabs his arm in pain. Capuano will Never win another game and Vargas should just be traded for two bushels peanuts or the 279th pick in the 2010 draft, which ever is the best offer considering the value of the peanut commodity at that time. Yeah, because that's exactly what I meant...

If you hold Yost to his word, it kind of takes the excitement out of the "pitching competition" this spring when he basically makes it sound like no matter how well Villy and Manny pitch or how poorly Bush/Vargas/Cappy pitch, that what they do in the spring really doesn't matter - it all comes down to experience and "track record". Does this bother anyone else?

Thanks DrWood! Nice work Ben!

"Had to dive back, head first, Kent?" Is there any other way to dive back to 1st??

Anyone have an approximate final pitching line on Sheets today? I'm assuming 3 innings but beyond that I don't know anything...

Phoenix - Here is the lucky lineup that gets to face Seattle ace Felix Hernandez and his high-90s gas, assuming he cranks it up that high today... 2B Rickie Weeks CF Mike Cameron 1B Prince Fielder LF Ryan Braun RF Corey Hart 3B Joe Dillon SS J.J. Hardy DH Matt LaPorta C Jason Kendall SP Ben Sheets (not hitting)

Sure thing fellas - sorry I couldn't finish it up

walked. I am doing play by play on pg 2

George Webb predicts it!!

That's sweet! Makes me want to grill some brats and drink some miller products

I can do it for awhile if you want...I'm not doing anything

Get the MLB audio package

Ueck must've had a liquid lunch - he is on a roll!

Play-by-play going once, going twice...

Please, please let Sheets be healthy enough all year to pitch just like he did in that inning
