i’m rooting for his OPS to drop below .800 today.

maybe he’ll change his approach if he doesn’t hit his 30/30 goal. I fear that if he does hit it, which most likely he will, he’ll consider his season a success. blah

Kinsler will not play better

than he did in 2008 (because he was having a superstar season) although he might be healthier.

The only player I see making rapid improvement is CDavis.

All the young pitchers are a grab-bag and nobody can forecast with accuracy who will be successful plus this bully was so overworked, I’m expecting the same crap we saw last year (currently constructed).

trade Feliz for Anderson?

I’m guessing I will get a chorus of “no way, Feliz throws 100!!!”, but I’d do it. That Anderson kid is a young lefty ace next year, while we still don’t know if Feliz is a starter or not.

BTW, the two are only a couple months apart in age.

Cruz looks like he decides to swing before the windup

If it’s not where he expects it to be , he is just stuck waving at it. He doesn’t seem to have any pitch recognition.
