bad news for joe torre - furcal isn't really as much of a "sparkplug" as you think. he looks like quite the sparkplug when he's OPS'ing over 1.000 and getting on base 45% of the time.

2-1

I'll happily take that from my second baseman.

I thought Hendry signed DeRosa to be a Ryan Freel utility type. I love being wrong.
