Such specific predictions are stupid but what the hell.
Santana vs. Gil Meche seems to be a mismatch, even though Meche is an underrated pitcher.
I'd like to see Torii Hunter not try to pull everything tonight, and I'd like to see someone pinch hit for Jacque Jones if he's facing Occasional Eddie (or any other lefty) late in the game.
It'd also be nice to see another strong game from Jason Bartlett. He's kind of reminding me of Chuck Knoblauch. Knobby won the 2B job in '91 spring training, had a hit in his first game, went on to a solid, if unspectacular rookie year. Bartlett could be a .280 with 10 homers kind of guy, which is about what Guzman gave ya for about 15 times the price.
9:05 start, that means it's gonna be a looong day tomorrow.
A few other opening day nuggets:
Time to test Dmitri Young for steroids, right?
Speaking of steroids, Brett Boone is under big-time suspicion. His numbers are down and he looks way slimmer. Either his big season a couple years ago came from Canseco milk shakes or he has since been married to the Atkins diet.
The Tigers could be pretty good. Trammell is a great manager, and Jeremy Bonderman is going to be an ace. They're definitely headed in the right direction.....
As opposed to Kansas City, who is sooooo bad. They are just dogs. If the Twins AAA team joined the Central they would win 10 more games than KC. At least.
