I didn't even know it was possible to turn ratings off.
It's an interesting approach. Maybe if I turned ratings off, I wouldn't be so scared to put Mike Jones on the mound late in a tie game with runners on base. Except now I have the memories, the awful flashbacks.
I like White in the No. 2 hole just because it eliminates the automatic out of trying to put any outfielder not named Willie Wilson there. Darryl Motley has some power, but he's not a reliable contact hitter. Heck, neither is White or anybody else not named Brett.
The RL Royals liked White in the middle of the lineup, and he was respectable there, but not exactly inspiring.
Balboni is streaky. He'll go cold for 7 to 10 games at a time, then go on a HR binge for a stretch of three or four games, then right back in the freezer again.
Just wait till those games against Cleveland, Texas, Chicago and Milwaukee come around. Any ground the Royals lose against the AL Beasts, they'll (hopefully) get back against that lot.
