    Thanks, Cal. That had been my impression based on seeing a few game-stats this spring, that he was K'ing like crazy, even while facing some not-always-great nonconference teams. K'ing over 20% of AB, that's not a great sign. Interesting that his K rate has actually gotten worse each year. Overall it seems fairly high for a college hitter but not horrible. Not a perfect hitter, obviusly. In 129 plate appearances he's struck out 20 times, or 15.5% of the time. That's not too bad, and with 100+ plate appearances, he could get on a 3 or 4 game streak of no strike outs and then he's back to "having a great eye at the plate!"

    I'm really not sure how that's relevant (again, I'm not calling Prior soft :D) How could it not be relevant? Leaf was thought to be good enough to hang in the NFL, but he wasnt. That was proven the moment he stepped on the field. Mark dominated AA, AAA and MLB before the injuries started. Maybe he never throws another effective major league inning, but I don't think it has anything to do with him being soft.

    Sorry, I just got back from a game. DE Gaines Adams - Clemson I seriously debated taking AD and putting him in the backfield with Edge, a situation I think he could do well in, but in the end, I went with the DE. In reality, if Thomas is off the board at No. 5, I expect AZ will take Adams.

    second or third, depending on pitching. I figure St Louis is ahead of us, and maybe Milwaukee too, though I think 85 wins gets us second place.

    Yeah, theoreticals about the rotation are worthless conversations. Lets go talk about our cars and tvs in social.

    This is what sucks about sports writing. You get put on a beat, so you have to write something, and you don't want to just go out there and kill one of the players you have to cover for 162 games (or however long), so you ask questions and you get answers like that, because what coach is going to say "well, hell, juan pierre made the most outs in baseball last year, why the hell are we paying him this much money?" So now you have a stupid quote from a coach who's trying to just be positive, and you have to run it, because that's all you're gonna get, and now you're pigeonholed into writing a fluff piece about stuff you probably don't even believe.

    No. of Sports Emmy Award Nominations Gus Johnson: 1 Steve Stone: 0 Joe Morgan: 2 Should get Cancer Joe Morgan: 1 You: 1 Gus Johnson: 0 What is your problem? what are you talking about? That was a little harsh there with the cancer thing, no? I was joking around, he knows I don't really want him to get cancer (or do I?)
