He is not Willie or Rocky Colavito or Pete Rose or Hank Aaron but he reminds us of the greatest that have played the game. That's exciting and must see TV.almhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628366155818338828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-24201124130750565132012-05-07T14:21:01.730-04:002012-05-07T14:21:01.730-04:00Scott - unless you intend to contribute to this bl...Scott - unless you intend to contribute to this blog, please stop posting.

Davey liked them and he and Rizzo produced a plan for them to work through in Syracuse. Brown starts every day and leads off. Moore bats third and plays some left field.<br /><br />They also signed Mark Teahan, Jason Michaels, Brett Carroll, and Xavier Paul as veteran backup.<br /><br />They don't need Span even for 1/2 a year. They need a Hunter Pence.
