The argument that Polanco and Utley combine to make give you average production from second and third is bad to start with, but it takes a hit when Utley doesn’t play.

And that would be a pretty awesome episode of Jeopardy. It might struggle to find a large audience of interested viewers. On the plus side, Roger spelled Jeopardy right (twice), which I would have guessed impossible. I had to look it up and cut and paste.

They cannot allow that to happen all around the horn.

Still, I don’t think you’ll see “533/611/600″ prefacing the correct Jeopardy question of “What is the line Wilson Valdez posted during the entirety of the 2011 Major League Baseball Season?”

That would be an awesome episode of Jeopardy though.

The parade of infielders who can’t hit worries me a lot. On the plus side, if Valdez hits 533/611/600 all year long we should be okay.

The pitching sure looks good. Hopefully the Halladay pitches great, but the Phils lose 4-3 doesn’t become a theme once the games start for real.

Wasn’t such a good spring for Brown.

Francisco battle/non-battle. With the Spring he was having, has there been any word on whether Brown just put his hand over the plate intentionally and hoped to get it smashed?

Not enthused about possibly starting the season with Valdez at 2nd.
