Between fourth and fifth, nobody gives a dime. I'd buy into the "a lot closer" though.

Below are our hopes, although nobody knows quite what to think of Beairsto, who needs a nick, by the way. There will be stretches of him batting .150 or less, and they will be very long, but he can go deep and win a game at the slightest provocation.

He also has pitching ratings (8/10/6), making him a perfect player for AWO duties. AWO is when usual mop-up pitching fails. AWO stands for Atrocious WipeOut pitching.

So he's the opposite to closer and pinch-runner deluxe Dan Nordahl (who won't win games no matter how many bases he steals...).

Brownie on the other hand tends to be out of whack and at 25 he won't get any better anymore, but if he's ON - by heavens! - he's ON!

That's what they say about 11th round gold. It's the shiniest gold.
