Rumors are that Kevin Gilbert (Steelers GM) may come aboard for ’09, bringing a certain lantern-jawed former coach with him.

He never hits it to LF. I’m not sure his bat is that speedy, although he does seem to have good bat control.

Easily, the Mets. It’s not even close. Dodgers have a good playoff pitching rotation. I’d take the Mets in the first round, over the Dodgers. Mets have been scratching and clawing their way into this. Might as well kick a team while they’re down.
