Are there any sites or services that provide current

	No, that means I would rather pay the big money to a guy I know
who will go all out everyday than a guy who is repeatedly out of the lineup
for soreness, illness etc and/or who is on the DL constantly (Eric Davis).

	I'm not going to get into this argument again. Basically that 
one injury will be an excuse for him for the rest of his life. Eric
has had MANY other so-called injuries and pain and illness all thru
his career. The man just WILL NOT PLAY with pain which in my book 
makes him a wimp. Note: there is a difference btw playing with pain
and playing with an injury. Lenny Dykstra plays with BOTH and sometimes
he is a little too daring out there. But I like that attitude ANYDAY.
(yeah, even when he is in the hospital.)

	Not really, I was all gushy over Eddie Milner and Gary Redus
who I still like better than Eric Davis. Sorry but in Cincy, we expect
our ballplayers (esp the ones who get paid big money) to PLAY! I guess
that comes from us watching real ballplayers like Rose, Morgan, Bench
etc etc play all out all the time! Just not the same in LA these days.

No - Steve Olin has 1 save also and he is the closer.  Last year he
had 17 saves in a limited role.  The other relievers listed above
can be considered setup men, though Eric Bell is good enough to
start (and I think he is tonight).  Also, it IS Rod Nichols.

Too bad old Harry didn't think of that!!

(sigh..)

$125,000 and a $325,000 mortgage on Fenway Park.

Harry Frazee, the owner of the team at the time, wanted to become a Broadway
producer, but badly.  He would go about this task by dismantling one of baseball's
first dynasties, selling off the players for cash and promptly losing another
bundle on his latest hit.  Finally, on "black Monday" (January 5, 1920), the Worst
Trade Of All Time was announced.  From that day to this, the only way to get a
Red Sox fan to watch the play "No No, Nanette" would be at the point of a gun
(though the threat of a forced viewing of the sixth game of the '86 Series
has been known to be almost as effective.  Maybe more so).

A book by the same name by Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe is a really
good read on this macabre subject:  it helped me keep things in perspective
towards the end of the 1990 season.

When a runner overslides a base, he is considered to have never reached the
base at all.  For example, if a runner tries for a triple but overslides third
and is tagged out, he is given credit for a double.  So in this case, Gant
gets no credit for reaching second, and caught stealing is the correct call.

I think that interleague play would be a great idea as long as there is a
limit to the amount of games played between the leagues.  It would be nice
to see maybe one series per year verses each team in the opposite league.
I think the NBA does a nice job of sheduling between the two conferences
where teams only play teams from the opposite conference twice a year.  Of
course there could be more than two games in baseball cuz there's twice as
many games.  It's too bad that all the traditionalists out there will never
go for the idea of interleague competition.  :(

Well what should the Yankees do with there huge problem of being 
over loaded.  I think they should trade at least Barfeild and 
probably Mel Hall and get the youth in.  Bernie Williams and
maybe Hensly Muelens.  Use some of the talent to get some decent
pitching.  Not saying they aren't holding there own so far this year.

Kevin Maas what to do.  Poor guy full of talent and gets stuck
playing behind Mattingly.  I would trade him but what happens when 
he comes back to haunt you and mattingly gets hurt ouch.


I really miss Alvaro Espinoza.  Hahahahahahahh.  Sorry that was funny.

Well, seeing the Jays have taken the last two, I guess the Jays are

			   actually it's retroactive to April 7, the
first day he didn't play because of the injury.  He is eligable to come
off the DL on April 22, but Oates doesn't want him back till he is ready.
One "problem" is that he is bening treated by his own Dr., and refuses
to be treated by the O's doctor.  In the mean time the O's have called
up Luis Mecerdes to fill the roster spot.

	The whole Cubs lineup is funny (in an insane sort of way) but
they really can't do much better!

position	starter		projected OBA
c		Wilkins		.300
1b		Grace		.375
2b		Sandberg	.345
3b		Scott		.330	(assuming they let him play)
ss		Dunston		.280
lf		Smith		.340
cf		Sosa		.290
rf		Dawson		.300

(these are all off the cuff guesses, not detailed projections, of the 
listed opening day starters)

I suppose I'd bat them;

Grace
Smith
Sandberg
Dawson
Sosa
Scott
Dunston
Wilkins

but I really don't think it matters.  How do people expect this team to
contend?!?

Well, I suppose one can always dream, and the above is not *completely out
of the realm of possibility, but you should realize that of those players,
only Calderon has ever hit as many homers as you're projecting for him at
any level, and that was in '87, when he hit 28.  Since then, he's hit 14,
14, 14, and 19.  Neither of the other two have ever hit that many homers in
a season at any level of professional ball; Walker came the closest, with
29 in mid-A ball.  It wouldn't surprise me to see Walker hit 30 in a season
sometime, though it would surprise me to see him jump to 30 this season.

I don't think Grissom will develop that kind of power.  I like him the
least of all the Expos youngsters; doesn't walk, hit for average, or for
power.  

>   Probably not that good, but realistically, .270-25-85 minimum.

I'd call that on the optimistic side for Wallach.  Wallach has hit 25
homers or more exactly twice in his major league career; in '87, he hit 26,
and in '82, he hit 28.  His career average as a full-time player is 17.
His career batting average is .263, and falling.  Even at his absolute
best, Wallach consumes a lot of outs.

don't forget George Bell.  He told the fans of toronto "they can
kiss my purple ass!"

and Damaso Garcia burned his uniform.

Oh, I'm sorry, I just couldn't pass this one up.  Did you *see* either of the
home runs?  They would have very happily traveled out of *any* park in either
league.  Please!  Don't tell me about short fences!

On the other hand, I'm not sending my check for the World Series at Shea quite
yet either, I just couldn't let that one go...
