I would rather have him be asked, "After watching the World Series, have you finally figured out how important a lead-off guy getting on base consistently is?" Don't ask him that. If he believes you, then he'll think that only the leadoff man needs to get on base, and that he can continue to populate the rest of the lineup with losers like Izturis and Cedeno. Good point. I wonder, right now, in Vegas who is favored to win the 2007 World Series? Yankees 9-2 Mets 7-1 Twins 8-1 White Sox 10-1 Red Sox 10-1 Tigers 10-1 Cardinals 12-1 Cubs 30-1
