1) I want to believe in Chris Young, I really do. I can see a track record that says he's always pretty much done this. I read here that his 86 really looks like 92 to the hitter. But still, when he throws it up there and they launch fly balls at that rate, I cringe. I hope he proves me wrong.
2) Oakland. I watched enough of the A's-Angels game last night to be assured by the Anaheim announcers that Oakland arrived coming off a three game sweep of the Mariners. Felix doesn't make it on their radar screens? Anyhow, after two years of swinging and missing badly on Oakland, maybe the collective 'professional' baseball mind has now flipped the whole thing over so that they see too MUCH in the A's? Love their depth, and Cespedes may finally find his way...but how long can Dr. Frankenbeane keep piecing together anonymous starters?
I'm saying that, when healthy, we meet or exceed their talent level. Or maybe that's my overestimation.
