he's 21, and he's got the pow of gary sheffield.
rickey henderson is such a master. he walked for the 2,185th time. he took a strike down the middle on a 2-1 count. he don't wanna swing; he wants to get on base!
he stole a base last night (# 1,404) and kept it. every base is a new record.
adrian beltre is gonna be ok:

he's been essentially the same player his entire career. that'll change, though. young players improve. stagnancy followed by breakout it the rule, not the exception. look for it.
robin ventura was a stupid pickup. the dodgers need someone who (a) is young, and (b) can hit. ventura fails on both counts.
beltre just hit a ball over that pokey-outy part of the center field fence in pro player stadium.
happy birthday juan pierre! he's 26.

i used to think he sucks, cause baseball prospectus told me so. they said he was exactly the kind of player that should be helped most by altitude.
they got it backwards. they've since realized their mistake, but they still won't admit this kid can play.
he's mini-ichiro. that pra would be higher if we considered the value of his stolen bases and lack of gidp.
kevin brown got a hit. avg: .200. opb: .196.
rickey walked again. that's 2,186.
eric gagne has 100 strikeouts in 60 innings. 15 walks.
cabrera struck out. 101. gonzalez. 102. brian banks. 103.
