Don't know why Hillman insists on having Crisp lead off and DeJesus in the 2 hole. Each do better in the other spot in the lineup.

Doesn't matter. Stolen bases are overrated.
OBP is far more important in the 1 spot. |

Yeah, kind of. The lead-off man is going to get the most ABs, though, so that's why you'd like to have a high OBP guy.

I was in Surprise last week. Had the time of my life. All the guys were there. Wilson, Frank, Big John, Denny Leonard.
Frank was walking by me and I called him over. Frank: Can't man. Working with the guys. Me: Frank, Tommy John wants that pitch back that you hit into the LF stands in Game three in 1980. Frank: (Big grin). I got all of that one. ME: And Adujar is selling tickets at the StL planetarium that shows the comet you launched off him in Game 3 in 85. Frank: ( LAughing out loud) I got all of that one too. Comes over to chat for about 5 minutes. We talked about all sorts of stuff. The 7th inning of Game 5 in 77 where Reggie spiked him. Hal MAc body blocking Willie Randolph on hard slide at 2b in game 4. Great time. |

I got to chat with Willie Wilson for almost 15 minutes whiel he signed autos on the concourse. Most of the people didn't know it was him. I asked if he knew where AO was these days and how I saw WW's first game in 1976. Sept 4 to be exact. Replaced AO in Cf. It was just so much fun. |

It is encouraging that Teahen might have a chance to stick at second. If he doesnt just completely suck out there, then his bat would be nice as a middle infielder, and we can always defensively sub him over to the outfield at the end of the game.

In the four games I watched, it's a disaster in waiting.
