the other side: common sense. Articles are being written

After the Reds batted out of order on
Sunday, Dusty Baker said he hadn't seen that happen
since he was a player. Baker apparently has blocked out all memories of managing the Cubs ... specifically April 16, 2004 when he botched yet another double switch.

On Monday, Dusty Baker said "a number of
players called (him) about coming to Cincinnati." Well WHO
Dusty, Who? One name springs to mind ... Barry Bonds.

Sometimes BP’s snarky writers are a little off
on their assessments. “The upper levels of the organization
are still pretty thin in terms of prospects, so Holliday still gets mentioned. Outfield corners who can’t slug .400 should get to be non-prospects pretty quickly, but a nice AFL gave people a continuing excuse to call Holliday a talent.

Baker has repeatedly talked about the desire to
have a do-it-all leadoff hitter with speed. What kinds
of hitters is he looking for further down the lineup? Does he want guys with lofty on-base percentages? The answer will likely not sit well with ...

Dusty Baker has been called a "OBP-hating Luddite,"
but his theory about young hitters is no different
than that of Bill James.

We'll never see another pennant chase like 1993,
when the Braves and Giants battled to the final

few things that could kill the natural buzz I
