McStallen's Cinema Picks/ Second Base Preview
Well the Jordanians sure know how to return a favor. I am living comfortably here as I wait for my leg to recover. There is not much to do and my TV does not get any reception. I started watching DVDs on my laptop, but the only movie here is the science-fiction classic "Freejack," and I have watched it several times already and I cannot bare to watch it again. But I must say this Mick Jagger is certainly an entertaining figure. Bravo!
The devilish Mick Jagger surveys the scene in the American cinema classic "Freejack"
Onto second base. And my there is a great disparity of talent here. Just as in Jordan, there are the "haves" and the "have-nots." If you cannot grab a solid second basemen, try to get someone who will at leaat help you in stolen bases. Also be on the prowl for versatility- players like Chone Figgins, Pedro Feliz, Jose Reyes, Juan Uribe are of a little addiitonal value because of their versatility.
1) Alfonso Soriano, Texas- the best by far
2) Jeff Kent, Los Angeles- nice mustache, but look for the numbers to decline now that he has relocated to Los Angeles
3) Marcus Giles, Atlanta- injured alot last year
4) Jose Reyes, Mets- I am very high on this little man, as he could steal 75-100 bases if he can play a full season. Use him as a second baseman or shortstop.
5) Bret Boone, Seattle- may have a big year if he is still using anabolic steroids
6) Mark Loretta, San Diego- outstanding season in '04. Can he reproduce it in '05?
7) Tony Womack, Yanquis- this man may have a monster year in New York- he will be a great draft-day steal. Too hell with "thumbs"- I say "Two Kalishnikov's Up" for this ball-player!
8) Jose Vidro, Washington- Mr. Vidro had an off year last year due in large part to injuries
9) Chase Utley, Philadelphia- Up-and-coming slugger who may hit 30 dongs in Philadelphia's homerun-happy ballpark
10) Brian Roberts, Baltimore- stopped stealing bases last year after the all-star break- maybe because his opponents were on to him. Or maybe he was just paranoid, like the great Josef Stalin
11) Chone Figgins, Los Angeles- may lose playing time when Adam Kennedy returns
12) Luis Castillo, Florida- a late-round steal- remeber when he was a "top-3" second baseman?
13) Mark Belhorn, Boston- good clutch hitter in a powerful line-up who plays to hoards of drunken bean-eaters
14) Jerry Hairston, Jr., Cubs- will he start? If so, where?
15) Aaron Miles, Colorado- let's call this "The Eliis Burks Rule"- Mr. Miles will be decent so long as he starts for Colorado
