What do you think of Hampson, GY?
It was weird seeing Roger Royce Ring throw in that arm slot, wasn’t it?
Also, the Kirk Gibson sighting in the opposite dugout was a big surprise. He doesn’t look like Kirk Gibson at all without the beard and with the haircut.

I thought I saw the change-up too. That was nasty. Almost as good as the slider. Chris Young is going to rock again this year.

#4: Ha…ha….

Hey Geoff,
“Stansberry is fast”. Interesting. He does have some decent stolen base numbers in the minors. Perhaps I need to re-think my Damian Jackson inclusion on the opening day roster (which was always a huge longshot). Maybe mgmt is also realizing the need for one speed guy on a slow club, to pinch run late in close games, score from second. He seems to be able to play third as well. Too bad he doesn’t play a bit of center field - or maybe he does…

I definitely noticed the change in Brian Giles' stance. He's more upright, his legs are closer together, and his hands are higher. Hopefully it helps.

same thing with Rickey Henderson, actually. I guess it's just me rooting for the laundry. Wells is a nutjob and a flake, but he's good for the game.

12 That was great. I really used to despise Wells . . . not so much any more.

HRs by each of our middle infielders … http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/bo.....=270307103 … but a 6-4 loss nonetheless …

re: Juan Cruz … this is going to sound preposterous, but I’ve seen him at times when he reminds me of Pedro … ie. I agree that it seems like he still has “big upside” …

I would recommend reading the David Wells article on Yahoo…pretty standard stuff about his trip to Africa and finding retirement boring…blah blah blah…

But then there is a Gem in there about his favorite food while he was there…not sure it is fit to copy and paste in here, so go ahead and read the article…about half-way through is a line that will make almost everyone laugh out loud!
