re why is barry bonds not batting th punjabi leland stanford edu sanjeev punjabi writes some evidence that is not working take a look at the standings it s real easy to get so focussed on minutinae and forget that the giants happen to be in first place if it s working you don t screw it up by changing things just because you think it ought to be different some folks like to argue about theoretical details i prefer to watch teams win when the giants slip to third then we can talk about how to re arrange the batting order until then i think it s stupid to focus on what s wrong for the simple fact that it s working as it is p s does the mailing list maintainer think that will clark is the best first baseman in the majors and that matt williams is a better power hitter than any other ballplayer in the majors i don t follow al so i won t comment on majors in the nl if i had my choice of any b in the league for my team it d be clark and i d hit him third my fantasy team has both grace and murray on it because i ve never been able to get clark i d take any of the three without hesitation in real life but i think clark is it williams not even close i much prefer his defense but when he isn t headcasing it matt has a good solid swing and some real punch if he drops to then he wanders out of cleanup but according to the latest baseball weekly he s hitting and in the last week hitting that s not exactly chopped liver mostly though the giants are winning and frankly as long as that continues it s rather silly to second guess their strategy but evidently some folks would rather be right than be first chuq imho von rospach esd support training dal aux chuq apple com member sfwa editor otherrealms genie mac bigot alink chuq minor league fans minors request medraut apple com san jose giants a san francisco giants fans giants request medraut apple com the stick not san jose sharks fans sharks request medraut apple com new seat tbd
