Preseason in the league was very quiet. The Mariners young star CF Ken Griffey Jr suffered a fractured wrist in a freak injury, but he will be healthy just in time for opening day.

We were happy when the Rangers claimed C Brian Harper and his expensive contract off waivers. Harper is a bad defensive good hitting catcher that did not fit into our plans.

We claimed on the other hand corner outfielder Gerald Young from the Cardinals and even if have an abundance of corner outfielder, he made the opening day roster thanks to his speed.

Spring season predictions think we are going to end up with 96 losses. Battling the Marlins, Mets, Twins and Pirates for the worst record in baseball.
The White Sox are clear front runners in the American League surpassing 100 wins. In the National League the Braves, Expos and Reds should all win close to 100 games.

After thinks the predictions are about right and has no expectations. Indeed our starting pitching looks vulnerable and the lineup offers few big names. But we are going to play hard and honest baseball trying to build a team that can reach the playoffs in two to three years.

The Top 10 Prospects List contains two very interesting names:
3B Chipper Jones at #3 and
SS Alex Rodriguenz at #5.

Our minor league system ranks 11th out of 28th with
pitcher A. Salazar (#11) and T. Cox being our best prospects. Both are still a long way from the big leagues and we have no young impact players in the upper minors. AAA offers some solid bats nevertheless should the opening roster players fail.
