  2. Hi Danny ~

    Well, he did have a great spring (other than his high strikeout count), but I guess we all know that spring stats aren't true indicators of the season to come...

    I am, however, anxious to see if playing everyday (or near to it) will increase Russell's productivity and decrease his K rate. Certainly stands to reason that it could!

    So, Danny ~
    just curious - how did you find my blog?

    After 9-10 hours, I finally found it!

    Either that or you wrote me this ...
