Jose Valentine YEAR G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS BA OBP SLG OPS 2004 95 353 64 81 17 3 26 64 33 107 6 3 .229 .297 .516 .813 Why does Valentin continue switch-hitting? It's hard to imagine he'd fare worse against lefties hitting lefthanded than he does righthanded. There was a 134-point difference between Valentin's averages last season, with only three extra-base hits in 107 at-bats as a righty. He does generate a ton of power lefthanded, averaging 25 homers the last four seasons, but no longer gets on base often enough to be effective near the top of the order. credit-espn

Adrian Beltre YEAR G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS BA OBP SLG OPS 2004 113 432 76 140 23 0 34 82 34 65 1 2 .324 .372 .613 .985 A patient hitter while coming up through the Dodgers minor league system, Beltre has developed a free-swinging approach in the majors. In fact, his on-base percentage has dropped in each successive season this millennium. While he is capable of covering every inch of the strike zone, pitchers now know that they can get him out without throwing many strikes. Beltre can go deep to any part of the park, and when he is in a groove, he drives balls on the outer half into the right-center field gap. hes got me a ton of points and hes a free agent next year credit espn.com

Wickman isnt bad

i like that idea get renteria and matheny usin the money from lowe and variteks salary's this is wat i see in 2005 This isn't the batting order 1b-Millar/Mencavitch (u might want to trade one of these guys for a solid starter 2b-Mueller/Cabrera SS-Renteria (if we can't get him put cabrera here) 3b-Youkillis C-Matheny( if u cant get him mirabelli then after a while shoppach.Mirabelli can do it wen tek was inured he alternated with hatterberg and he did good.) LF-Ramirez CF-Damon RF-Nixon/Roberts(let roberts pinch run in the ninth and let roberts play against righties it might be vice versa though) DH-Ortiz

jeff garcia gay Owens Addresses Comments in 'Playboy' by Andy Schwartz ComcastSportsNet.com BETHLEHEM, Pa. — For someone who has never put on an Eagles uniform, Jeff Garcia sure is getting his share of attention in Philadelphia these days. Of course, it's all courtesy of his former wide receiver with the 49ers, Terrell Owens. During his tenure with the 49ers, Owens' acrimonious relationship with Garcia was well publicized. Despite the fact that both players have left the 49ers, Owens has continued to take shots at Garcia, who signed with the Browns this off-season. Until now, those criticisms have focused on Garcia's ability, or lack thereof, as a quarterback. In an interview appearing in next month's issue of Playboy, which hits the newsstands on Friday, Owens was asked about Garcia's sexual preference: Question: Jeff Garcia "has denied media rumors he's gay. What do you think?" Owens' answer: "Like my boy tells me: If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat." Following Tuesday morning's practice, Owens was asked to elaborate on his response. "It was just a loose conversation," Owens said. "He asked me about it. I just told him, my boy always told me if it looks like a rat, smells like a rat, obviously, by golly, it must be a rat." While Owens' was likely referring to a friend, the identity of Owens' boy is unknown. According to the Eagles' media guide, Owens is single and has no children. But Owens emphasized he never actually stated that Garcia was a homosexual. "I didn't say that he was gay," Owens said. "The conversation and the interview were loose. To my knowledge, I'm not sure if Jeff is gay or not. I've seen him out — he had a girlfriend when we were in San Fran. There's been a recent report that he has a girlfriend now. That was the extent of it. Everybody's going to make a big deal out of it. It wasn't like I came out and said 'Jeff was gay.' People asked me similar questions about Steve Young. Everybody is going to have their rumors." Andy Reid said he hadn't seen Owens' comments. "I don't read Playboy," Reid quipped. Garcia, for the record, has denied rumors that he is gay. In an interview published in the Santa Rosa Democrat on Feb. 4, Garcia maintained that he is heterosexual. "I've heard the rumor myself that I'm gay. That is not the case," Garcia said. "I've had girlfriends in the past and I do want to be married some day. ... Somebody saying it obviously doesn't have any clue as to who I am as a person and, secondly, speaks from a sense of having jealousy for what I've been able to attain as a person and is trying to knock me. Well, they're not knocking me." In the interview, Owens also addressed the negative perception that came with him to Philadelphia: "[it] has been tarnished by what the Bay Area media put out there," he said. On Tuesday, Owens maintained that his honesty has often gotten him in trouble. "The media has held that against me — I'm a very honest person," Owens said. "My grandmother raised me to be honest. She told me not to lie. There's no such thing as borderline lying. I'm not a politician. I'm not going to play to the media. I didn't go to school to be a politician. It's honesty first. The way that I grew up and the way that my grandmother raised me — the way I carry myself is out of respect for her, so if people don't like it, then they don't like it. I'm still going to be myself regardless." Owens understands that part of the responsibility of being one of the league's top players involves dealing with the media on a regular basis. "It comes with the territory," he said. "There were times where, obviously in this position where you're one of the key guys on the team, you're going to be faced with the media, and you have to answer questions whether you have good games or bad games, and I did that for the most part. I was always being honest. If they asked me what was going on, I pretty much told the truth. It wasn't a situation where I was going to sugarcoat anything. If they asked me what was going on with the offense, then I pretty much said that. Some guys really took offense to that when I was in San Fran." Although his comments rubbed some people the wrong way, Owens says his remarks were always made with the goal of winning a championship in mind. "In the big scheme of things, if we were trying to strive for a championship, then everybody should be working toward that goal. If you're going to be a starter, then you should play like a starter," Owens said. "Obviously everybody makes mistakes, and that's part of the game. When I had bad games, I pointed out my mistakes as well, so it wasn't a point of me just pointing any specific or particular person out. Some guys just read the quote, and they took it personal — then they weren't doing what they were supposed to do if they took it personal." The bottom line: while T.O. is a team player, don't get him on your bad side. "We're all teammates, and we're all looking out for each other," he said. "I would definitely say it would be rude for me to just point out a person. If somebody takes a shot at me, then obviously it's open season — then I'm going to take a shot back at them. But if you don't give me a reason to, then it's not going to be a problem. So wat do u think he has a high pitched voice is he gay?

I'd have to take Brenly because he beat the yanks in 2001 and he was curt Schilling old manager.
