Richmond a couple times on the 2004 team which included LaRoche, Orr and Langerhans. I'm really into picking and following players on the minor league
level and watching them develop and I'm thrilled to watch him play now for my team. I am really pleased with how we turned our farm system around recently
and I have to tip my hat to the great job the Braves have done over the last decade and beyond with their system. Unbelievable. And the Braves are sort of my
'NL team'; I would guess a couple of you here are the same way maybe? Anyways I just tried coming up with a creative name for a player I have attached
myself to and I always enjoy rooting for the little guy!

What's your reason for liking Nieves so much?

and Mattingly are there. You will fit in real well here. All of us really enjoy following the kids in the minor league system and rooting for them in the
majors. Like too much.

kaybli wrote: hahaha true statement. and I heard his girlfriend doesn't even like him THAT much. But yeah I'm excited as well if he gets 500 AB's. He went
from SS to 3B and now it looks like he is stuck at 1B and can back up 3B when A Rod needs a the rare rest or the rare DL stint. BTW, how do you make the
baseball cards in the avatar spot larger?

14 hr & 50 rbi in 240 ab is some serious production. However, Wilson needs to drop 15-20lb to play SS & 2B effectively. Him coming into camp in shape
will be the difference in him getting 150 ab or 300+ ab.
Those splits are also ugly  ...... could he be any worse exclusely
batting as a lefty?

righty. He is one of the worst switch hitters I have ever seen. For real. I like Wilson a lot, but drop the right-side and we'll see improvement!
