At 32 there is no reason to believe any of his skills have diminished. Add that to the fact that he is in a contract year ( i think) I expect him to have a good year. He(as well as a few others) need to relax, play within their skill set and not try to do too much Jim

I think I would be more concerned about A.J. hitting .170 something and looking terrible at the plate or Peavey looking horrible in his first 2 starts than Pierre or Teahen Jim |
