How’s your eight-year old asian sister doing?
]]>C - Mauer (if he’s healthy all year, watch out)
1B - Howard (lotsa hype, but will live up to it this year)
2B - Cantu (Ugly as sin, but the stats don’t lie)
SS - Lugo (speed and average; good thing they don’t take off points for errors)
3B - Beltre (ripe for a monster comeback)
CI - Blaylock (needed “the hammer”)
MI - CHONE MUTHAFUCKIN’ FIGGINS
OF - Freel (speedster galore, plus he knows how to have a good time)
OF - Manny (no comment needed)
OF - Damon (a traitor, sure, but TONS of run scoring potential, and he’s never on the DL)
OF - Alou (old, but still has it)
OF - Brady Clark (underrated as hell)
Util - Mike Sweeney (everyone forgets about him, but still puts up numbers)
Bench - Ibanez and Shelton (meh)
P- Peavy (NL Cy Young winner - calling it now)
P - C. Zambrano (baby bull - another possible Cy candidate)
P - Nathan (top-3 closer)
P - Patterson (unsung stud)
P - Wickman (gettin’ older, but still puts up numbers; will have tons of save opps if healthy)
P - Valverde (see above)
P - Ray (O’s closer - has been lights out in spring training)
P - Livan H. (innings eater - general eater overall)
P - Scott Shields (super-nasty all purpose reliever)
Bench - E. Santana, A. Benitez and D. Weathers (super rookie and two closers; not too shabby for bench warmers)
