If the injury is of any significant length, I agree with you. Last year, I think there was some reluctance to use Frank in center on an on-again, off-again basis, but maybe they think he's comfortable enough in the ML outfield by now to play both spots, Alex Rios-style.

I don't if anyone has looked through Bill James' Goldmine, but I came across something interesting while flipping through the book at a Barnes and Noble. Apparently, by what ever method James used (it involved Gorillas and stuff), the 2006 Indians bullpen was the worst bullpen in the HISTORY OF BASEBALL. Well, since 1957 anyway. When bullpens started to become the norm.

I can't wait until the first game of the season to see the updating box score on LGT...

Ok, checkin' in here made me crumble again this year and buy MLB radio. Of course I tune in to CC giving up 2 runs. Curses!

Joe Posnaski has a column up on CC's chances of winning 300 games

I ran C.C.'s stats through Bill James' Favorite Toy formula.

It predicts 7.8 seasons left in the big guy with 124.8 more wins. That would leave him well short (75.2) of 300 career wins.

not the best of ideas

The description of the blog on the middle-right part of the screen is pretty fantastic. Also, darn those fellows at mlb.com for not having game logs for the spring anymore.

Glad you like it -- and the best part is, it's all true, even the ending that sounds like hyperbole. I had a moment of inspiration while fiddling with the "staging site" just before midnight, moments before the SBN team starting moving it to the live site. I'm thinking of starting a "mission statements while-u-wait" service.

With a "buggy whip." Sounds quite intimidating,

It's sorta sad this was our last game with these yahoos (barring a home game in Houston during inter-league). I suppose I'll miss them during ST next year in Arizona.

Yahoos, hayseeds, bumpkins, yokels, call them what you will, they're awful and I'm glad they're gone.

It doesn't get as much action as the spacebar key or return key...until LGT came around.

I like the "new message" indicator!

Hello everyone,

baergagaga - your new message "came in" as I was reading the thread - I like how it alerts you to a new comment without having to review. That will certainly be helpful in writing "up-to-date" posts. :-)
