Winning 81 would be an improvement.<br /><br />I have the benefit of watching spring training games and the names Tejada, Newenhuis, Mejia or Stoner may not mean anything to the untrained eye, but they are all budding major leaguers that will be on this team in two years tops.<br /><br />Oh and next years free agency class is 10 times better than thispast winter's but you want to rant and rave about Felipe Lopez, who reportedly is a pox on every clubhouse he's walked into. <br /><br />Take a deep breath...there, do you feel better? Now repeat after me...<br /><br />This team was never going to win this season anyway.TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619620902215995000noreply@blogger.com
