  1. Matt Wallner is unreliable with his swing…too inconsistent and unreliable. Hope he has success but doubt it.
  2. The article for was too much statistics. That is one of the reasons baseball is no longer the National Pastime.
  3. Morneau was a very good player but, to me, not a good color man. Too boring and in a monotone voice. I can’t listen to him. I turn the volume so low so that it’s a mumbling sound. In my circle of baseball friends none like Morneau. At least Bert had some humor, etc. But if they keep the rotation then it should be ok.
  4. Probably couldn’t communication with the Front Office. One of the most instinctive players in baseball history. In reality the front office didn’t want to give instructions to a Hall of Famer.
  5. So the author states that Paul Molitor couldn’t communicate with the players. Not what I heard!
  6. Basically, his ball, no matter the speed on the fastball, is too straight. Doesn’t move much or rise.
  7. He was put in as low-leverage situation as you can get.
  8. Larnach has the potential to be a real good hitter…more than the above players.
  9. This game was blown by the manager. Baldelli is not a winner..his object is to follow a game plan and doesn’t deviate. Lacks a winning feel. When you have guys in the bullpen who throw 100mph…bring them in and win the game.
  10. Personally, the player of the past that most closely resembles Mike Trout is Mickey Mantle. Over the years when a new phenom would appear on the scene the sport writers would usually say, “he might be the next Mickey Mantle”. The Mick was one of the fastest players in the league, hit the ball the farthest, and won the triple crown. However, I do think that Buxton is in that category and if he stays healthy he could. take over as the best center fielder in the game. And most experts rank Mays as the best center fielder of all-time……which I agree with.
  11. Todd Walker was a really good player. His problem was Tom Kelly. They didn’t get along…if I remember right.
  12. I don’t expect much from Celestino. Mainly a triple A player….IMO. Just from what I’ve seen.
  13. Mark, excellent analysis!
