Just saw the lineup....and was disappointed to see Moss isn't in it. Of course, Moss isn't as good as JD Drew (maybe one day), and doesn't have his experience, but Moss sure looks like he's having fun out there, lots of energy, exciting to watch. JD seems like he'd be just as happy fishing, or reading a book. I'm sure JD Drew is happy to be a successful player, but I'm not sure he's very excited about it. Brandon Moss, though...you can tell there's nowhere else he'd rather be. Maybe it's just me, but I enjoy watching players who look like they're excited to be on the field. Just a thought....
