    "sparky said that their ba sucks, they shouldn't be on the team, i think it was gross, but i don't remember" I remember distinctly Sparky, ranting about Gross, and how he should not be on the team. It was right after they had sent down tony gwynn, who had got hot for about a week. Sparky, and Tim, who I like, but never agree with anything he says(i.e bunting helps score runs, and stealing is a big part of an offense.) was on board with him. I cant listen to any sports radio shows, but the ones on 1250 are the worst. In the morning that have that doug russell guy, who never knows what he is talking about, and his lame sidekick, who's name escapes at the moment who only talks about how drunk he got over the weekend. The afternoon gets a little better but not by much. Gary is all right if you like football, I guess, but anything else he knows absolutley nothing, and Cliff is whiney little know it all, who actually knows nothing. Only time I would listen to them was in the car. Not anymore I cant take it. So all that gets played now is good ol Magma CD's.

    Today I finally bought the book Moneyball , by Michael Lewis today. I am sure many of you have read it already. I am on the third chapter, in the second chapter, they are going over who to draft and who not to draft. Throughout the chapter, they keep talking about how power can be developed, but the author says plate discipline cannot. I recently have come around to the idea, that a guy like Alcides Escobar, despite his total lack of walks, and power, could one day become decent enough at the plate to warrant an every day spot in the lineup, given his gold glove caliber defense. The point of this thread is not, whether Escobar can, or cannot be an everyday player. I am just wondering, what you guys think are the most likely skills for a player to develop. The things I am really interested in are the 5 tools that everyone talks about, throwing arm, speed, batting average, batting power, and fielding, and also plate discipline, mainly walks, not so much strikeouts. Out of those which are the easiest for a prospect, and which are most likely not going to get any better.

    What does being overpaid, have to do with where you finish in the standings? Pavano obviously is a non-factor, but Abreu, and Posada esspecially are still very good players. The Yankees gave up 4.8 runs a game last year, while the Rays gave up 5.83, there is no way the Rays staff improves that much this year, to knock off the Yankees, Red Sox, or even finish with a winning record.

    The sad thing is you just know that alot of drunkards in the stands are going to boo him. I love the Brewers, and their are alot of great fans, but there are many more fans who just dont have a clue. They booed brady clark, and I am 100% sure they will boo Jenkins, even though he gave it his all.

    1) Sheets has a monster year, and does not miss any time with ear infection's, or a tweaked muscle that I have never heard of. 2) Brewers will win 90 games 3) Rickie Weeks will have a monster year , he will hit .285/.390/..480 with 25 homeruns, and 30 steals.

    I cant see them winnings 88 games, I could see a 78 win season, and that should be enough for a third place finish. The Rays have the potential to be an offensive juggernaut this year. The pitching on the other hand is still suspect. THeir bullpen is absolutley horrid, and outside of Kazmir, and SHields, their rotation is pretty bad. Next year, if Price, Mcgee, and Davis are ready, I believe 88 wins will be possible. With the pitching staff they have now though, it is not going to happen.
