There is a simple metric I have devised that will determine the M's fate this season. Observe:
Texas Rangers
# of future hall of famers on roster: .5 (Josh Hamilton.)
Anaheim Los of Angels Angeles
# of future hall of famers on roster: .3 (Mike Trout); .6 (Jered Weaver); .4 (Dan Haren) = 1.3
Seattle Marineros
# of future hall of famers on roster: 1 (Ichiro); .8 (Felix); .4 (Ackley); .2 (Pineda) = 2.4
Oakland - eh
Rocksolid numbers that don't lie.
'Course in '95 we had 3.9, and the .9 was Edgar. So it's going to be a bit tougher this time.
