Is it a possibility that Berkman plays RF while Craig gets up to full speed and Adams starts the year at 1B?

Indeed, it reads as if the writer just completely forgot about Berkman’s existence.

He even mentions Craig as an alternate to Adams at first base.

Yeah…Does anybody see a bit of crash Davis in Matheny?

So the Adams article is a good read, except they completely overlook that Berkman is expected to be our starting 1B…stating that Adams has a strong chance at getting the starting nod. What? How much research does it take to know this? I’ve not read much of their stuff, but that’s definitely a black eye for them IMO.

I like what I see so far. Both quality and quantity are looking good. Leach was a very good writer, and I always enjoyed his blog, but in the last six months or so, it updated rather infrequently. Seems like you could sense burnout setting in. I wish him well in his new job, but let’s enjoy Jenifer as a replacement.

Langosch seems like she is going to be pretty solid.

I really liked Matheny’s line to Jenkins: “If Carpenter pounds his glove, he’s competitive. If you pound your glove, you’re 19 years old.” Young players often need to get their emotions under control (see: Garcia, Jaime). It’s OK to be emotional, but evidence that a young player’s emotions are not under control will be seized upon as evidence that the player isn’t ready for the bigs. It may be unfair, but life’s like that.
