Overview: I was really happy to see this team win a World Series last season. I now will always have zero regrets about trading Al Borland to the Twins (who's developig nicely). Garcia and Martines are two key guys for me. Really the 2010 trade for Issac Galloway is what set all this in motion. Without him I doubt I mak the playoffs. Repeating is always the goal. With the pressure off I'm just hoping for postive development. If Harold Martinez can build off his rookie season, and Rolando Arrojo Jr. gets to the majors. This season will have been productive regardless of the final record.

At least Rundle made it to the bench.

Rundle my Grundle

[DMBZeppelin]

At least Rundle made it to the bench.

Due to injury he's actually starting off season in the 2 hole against righties. He's hitting .385 so far.

[Kingdom]

He has a lot of pent up aggression thanks to being in AAA.
