1. I always suspected Franklin had full-time SS in him. He isn't going to be Ozzie, but if Jeter can do it, so can he. However, the M's never seemed to believe that he had such potential. Do they believe it now, or are they just trying to boost his value? Is the '14 SS position really open?
2. Good news about 'Kuma's finger. As suspected, I think.
3. I think the M's played hard ball with Cruz, and that surprises me. A good move, however (IMO). Rumor is that the Mets are sniffing around Cruz right now. Let's see. But at some point, he may be really cheap. He's not my first choice, but at pennies on the dollar (so very low risk) he's hard to bypass.
