I honestly don't know how. Didn't Aleva lock him in around 30 billion or something? I think we are all gonna have to wait for the retirement ceromony, or Alzheimer's. Whichever comes first. Got a new hitting coach who is pretty good. If he can get Hughes up to .250, we might be onto something. Kind of the Krob development plan I suppose

He was noticeably in mid-season form last spring as well. He's going to be pretty dominant anchoring the pen. Hilliard kd 5 of 6. He throws mid 80s but his hook is so filthy first time thru the order can be unfair. The pen is basically interchangeable bt starting and closing. Getting them to accept roles may be an issue. I hope they get roles bc i dislike Johnny wholestaff everyone gets an inning bs Fri Henry Sat Marceaux Sun Labas Hill Walker Storz? I don't like Cabrera leading off but we have some wide bodies behind him. Paul gave travinski a shot in the 2 hole with the starters but struggled. He looks the part. Gonna have to DH bc Beloso ain't going anywhere. By sec play I would like to see mo in CF. Cabrera in RF. LF is wide open. Id like to see Arnold get healthy as he was pushing Hughes at SS and may catch him. Doughty is too weak with his glove to play ss at this level. The pitching should be good enough for the new hitters to figure it out.
I think he has Cabrera leading off because he has developed some speed. That's whay he was predicted to roam center because he showed speed we surprised to see. That and his cut in the ball was freakishly good. I agree tho he should be on a corner because of his arm. Looking forward to seeing how well Walker does on the bump. They say his stuff is that of the freshman walker which makes me all giddy. If all we have is him as a mid-week starter, good god people, we have a killers rotation, one we haven't seen in a few years. What we have healthy in June is what means everything, but get ready for some low scoring games. This could be the bunch that makes or breaks Dunn's career.
Cabrera on Mo: “I just know if he's playing center and he's running after the ball,” right fielder Daniel Cabrera said, laughing, “I'm getting out of the way because he's going to run my ass over.”
