The bullpen again will be a combo of Melvin's keen FA eye and young arms (Rogers, Sarfate, etc) from the farm system. Some prospects that might garner talent via trades are Gamel, Cain. I don't think Coco and Turnbow will be resigned as both will be near mid 30.

Sheets' constant health issues make him a vexing decision. I am betting the Brewers make an offer, but he leaves.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - A few adult companies have committed to forming teams for a co-ed Adult Industry Softball League that would begin play in the spring. Vivid Entertainment Group will field a team, national sales manager Howard Levine said Friday. Premiere Distributors is also putting a team together, along with AVN. AVN president Paul Fishbein has agreed to be the commissioner of the league. "So let's go distributors and let's go manufacturers. Put your team together and join the league," Levine said. Companies interested in starting a team should contact AVN's Sara Harter at sharter@avn.com to sign up.

This would be an interesting league!

Happy Thanksgiving guys

What kind of production in 2006 do you guys see for the following players.

Doumit
McCann
Hall
Church
C. Jackson
Shelton
Zimmerman
Quintanilla
Pedroia
Willingham
Garko
Fielder

I realize almost everyone on this list isn't a lock to break camp, but to a man they have produced at every level.

Guys like Willingham, Garko and Doumit seem to be better versions of LeCroy, but are caught in a numbers game. Pedroia is hard to bet against if he  is healthy next spring. Likewise with Zimmerman.

Its kind of ironic that the two so called blue chip prospects, Fielder and Jackson, have the biggest hurdles to clear (if there isn't some major roster shuffling by their repective teams).

Thanks in advance.
