So this should cause some discussion, not just about the shift but also this awesome quote.

*pardon the horrible formatting, we are still using good ole IE 6 here at work and LSB doesn't like it.

GO RANGERS

Young and Jeter share many attributes, most notably as offensive-minded infielders with histories of defensive mockery.

It's going to be intresting to watch if...

Face can lay off the pitch away, just of out the strike zone. Don’t think they are going to give him anything to hit on the inner half of the plate.

This fanpost is all messed up for me

Is it weird for anybody else? I wonder if it’s my chrome not interpreting something correctly.

No it's because my work still uses IE 6 and SBN doesn't like it...

it was my fault it’s all fucked.

Michael Young

seems like too good a hitter for this to work on. I mean, there is one thing Michael Young is really, really good at, and that is hitting the ball all over the field. He’s not going to hit 40 homers, and he isn’t going to win gold gloves (wait…), but he’s going to decimate that alignment.

Of course, there is something quite ironic about giving Michael Young the entire left side of the infield…

Go Rice Owls!
