- Uh-oh. Adam Eaton faces reconstructive elbow surgery that will sideline him for the remainder of 2001 and all of 2002. He’s going to get a second opinion but this doesn’t look good at all.
- Phil Nevin isn’t so sure about his proposed move to second base. If he doesn’t, with the recent acquisition of Ray Lankford, Nevin would probably move to first, Ryan Klesko to left, leaving a Lankford/Bubba Trammell platoon in right. Basically it would allow Damian Jackson to keep his job at the expense of Trammell’s. More defense, less offense.
- Finally, I’ve thrown together a little study called Where Do Aces Come From which you may find interesting. It’s not exactly comprehensive but it should get you thinking a little. I hope.
