On the Olivo bandwagon.  I mentioned, probably just before you posted these articles, that Olivo's walk percentage has crept up near average the last 3 years, going from 2-2.5%, to 4% in 2009, to 6% in 2010.  So when you mentioned his EYE numbers were always and still are awful, you were right, but when you said that they've never improved, actually they've improved dramatically.  From 2005 to 2008, he averaged over 10 Ks per BB.  In 2009, 6.6 Ks per BB.  But last year, it was down to a poor but palatable 4.3 Ks per BB.  I think Olivo is adabtable and learning to temper his swing at everything ways as he ages and his bat slows.
