Moon, you and I are now and have been on the same page as far as Iglesias is concerned. He should be our shortstop. As I've said before, this is not a knock on Drew, who has far exceeded my defensive more »

As for the great April, I knew they would be better than last year. I also predicted that they would win more than they lost. I did not expect them to be this good. They pitched very well in Spring Tr more »

He's lefthanded. That should be a simple enough explanation, right Amp? When you use the wrong arm to throw there's no telling how many other things you'll do wrong;) Seriously, he has great swing-and more »

Moon, as for Pettite's new drug. I don't see any evidence of it. He is actually a bit slower than in his heyday; he's just a very savvy pitcher who never hits the middle of the plate and never throws more »

I was never very high on Nava as a right-handed hitter, but he has looked very good all spring long. He's very selective, rarely swings at bad pitches, and it looks like he finally has developed some more »
