So it’s our second player versus player challenge and after your overwhelmingly positive response to our last poll, we thought we would stick with the baseball theme but move to the mound this time with two guys who are up and coming baseball stars.

Clint Barmes Rides Again; or Venison Steaks For All
It’s happened. Call it inevitable; say what you want. The alternative was just too absurd. A Rockies batter who hits .220! Impossible. Can’t happen; can’t be true. This rondure turns, and we’re back to reality.

Hoffman’s Done; No Bell Pun
You’ve got Hoffman closing games, you’ve got Heath Bell setting up, and you’ve got the Padres a dime under .500. That’d be fine if it were 1996, but with Hoffman toeing the horizon, something’s going to change.

Broadcaster Spotlight: Rance Mulliniks; or Speaking the (Burger) King’s English

Is Aaron Hill Going To Get Better?
Aaron Hill is the 5′11″ version of David Wright. And he plays second base. Wright, who’s the superior power hitter, has one inch and fifteen pounds on Hill. And those vitals are enough to make the difference between 20 and 30 HR/season.

I’ll Tell You The Truth About Andruw Jones
…I’ll tell you the truth about Andruw Jones. He sucks. He’s garbage. He’s the baseball equivalent of the world’s largest Lifesaver–a big, fat, zero.

Everyone’s Pulling For Griffey
At 597 homeruns, it is safe to say that most are pulling for Ken Griffey Jr. to break the 600 plateau and would really have loved it if he could have been healthy enough to have challenged for the all-time record (you know the one held by *Bonds).
