Spring Springs Hope
Ahh, Opening Day. Every team is in first place. Every fan has hopes for the post season. If at least for one day.
I remember the start of the ’07 season. Coming off a 2006 WS appearance (which looked inevitable mid-season, impossible in September, and then undeniable in October), I hoped the addition of Gary Sheffield and another year of experience for Robertson, Maroth and Verlander...

The pressing lineup questions right now are 2B and a 5th starter. Not surprisingly, Leyland isn’t saying anything about the latter, and I don’t think anyone had enough brass to ask him about the former...
