Barring trades or injuries, yeah. |
Baseball 101 -- it's easier to come up on a bad hop than it is to go down on one. |
Based on last year, you'd have to put them on the top. They were the most consistent. |
Before, when Freel was here, having Ryan and Rich both, we knew we'd be able to get Eddie some time off at third. But since Freel's been out, we decided that if we could play him four or five times a week, we could kind of pick and choose our spots for him to get time off. We can't do that now. He's got to play. |
Being able to help the pitching staff, for me, is the No. 1 priority for a catcher. |
Being able to play all three outfield positions is big for him, and being a switch-hitter. Just the experience he brings, the attitude he brings. It gives him a chance to really help us. |
Being able to see the entire country over the last 30-some years has really made me realize just how great of an area we have here. I always look forward to coming back. |
Being stuck on the road and not being able to see your family made it a difficult couple of days, |
Brandon was outstanding. It's a shame to waste that kind of effort. |
Bronson Arroyo was brilliant. They tried to stack the lineup with left-handers against him and it still didn't do a whole lot of good. He changes speeds extremely well. |
Chances are if both are in the lineup when the season begins, one will probably be in the one hole and the other will be in the eight hole. That's how it would probably work out. |
Chances are with those additions, one of those guys that pitched well for us out of the pen last year won?t make the club. |
Coffey did a pretty good job against some good hitters. |
Dave's going to be fine; it was his first time out. He didn't have a real good feel, and he's a feel guy. |
Defensively, we did some things tonight you don't like to see and gave them the opportunity to get some guys in scoring position. |
