The horrible swings by the opposing batters fooled by his slow-and-slower stuff had us laughing all night.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09350357489867683631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738397629217836526.post-65681646068673987562010-04-14T06:47:54.538-07:002010-04-14T06:47:54.538-07:00I had the same thought (about this being the perfe...I had the same thought (about this being the perfect season to start the blog), but I really hate getting my hopes up.<br /><br />Those are good ideas for posts and I'll probably write something about Davis soon. <br /><br />I'll probably address Barton at some point soon, too. To answer your question about holding off Carter: As soon as he's ready, I think he can be the every day DH. I think he's battling more with Cust and Chavez than with Barton. Barring a crazy trade, there's a pretty good chance that Barton and Carter are the DH/1B next year.Zackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104648431518732269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738397629217836526.post-64963136649301239002010-04-13T19:40:36.157-07:002010-04-13T19:40:36.157-07:00Hey Doug, we are going to do a once a week minor l...Hey Doug, we are going to do a once a week minor league update, probably to start this coming Monday.

I have a couple of suggested topics.<br /><br />1) Daric Barton - what to do with him and what kind of OBP numbers does he need to produce to be a legitimate 1B (and hold off Chris Carter).<br /><br />2) A's minor league updates maybe on one particular day of the week so I can check it regularly.<br /><br />3) Is Raji Davis for real?<br /><br />Thanks, DougAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703409422791289198noreply@blogger.com
