AJC does not manage their blogs to win in the Spring Training. Unfortunately, this means a sys admin guy is probably going to get cut tomorrow.

Isn’t Rodrigo Lopez Starting today…?
I seriously hope he doesn’t make the Team. M&M (Mike Minor) proved last year that he is our #5 starter
And Its Imperative that we give KK a lot of innings to showcase him to other teams what he can do once he arrives…because I’m banking on him being traded before May 1st…

I hope Chipper realizes that the majority of us are pulling for him big time…the haters are a small, albeit vocal, minority. I’m all for asking tough questions, but I hope he doesn’t think for a second that most of the real fans don’t have his back…cause we do. He’ll play in 138 games….this year, and he’s gonna his .318.

To be quite fair, I’m a Cena fan/supporter, but I do agree Cena’s character is stale, but that’s due to the way they currently book him. When Cena was the Dr. Of Thuganomics, he was HUGELY over and adored. Once he became Super Cena (80s Superman booking), the fans turned on him and he became the “Mr. Poopy Joke” guy.
When he rapped on Rock last Monday, I was glad to see the Dr. Of Thuganomics, if only for one night

Matt- You might be right. Wouldn’t bother me at all – though I’d like to see Matt Young get a shot, even as the 25th player. He’s versatile – plays infield and outfield – and can hit well and run well.

Nasty Nate AKA Nate-Dawg makes too much money to keep on the bench, He is our leadoff hitter by Default during the first month…I assuming we are going to decline his 10+ mill option for next year…?

The only outsider looking in that i hope dont a legit chance to play is Brandon Hicks. we have given some several shots at the major league roster and he hasnt produced at all. He needs to be extra trade bait for the trade deadline later on this summer.

If Nate can perform like he did with the Pirates in 2008, then unquestionably it’s Nate. Jordan is going to be the future CF anyways, so if Nate can perform like that, it’s no question.
However, if Nate does alright, but not like him in 2008 with Pirates, then it’s up for grabs I’d suppose.

It was a computer glitch today, but I think tomorrow we’ll leave the blog blank a while just to see how many comments we can get with folks trying to top each other on the “How long did this take to write” sort of comments. Pull chain, then sit back and observe.

Chris26 – And yet I have been considered a complete idiot for mentioning the fact that the Phillies are injury prone, Utley is regressing (primarily because he’s hurt a lot) and that they were and will be injured quite a bit.
