Taking a Base
I always enjoy looking at the Cleveland Indians boxscores, especially the ones that list OBA. Just look at those OBA's. Coco Crisp is rightly in the 9th slot with his low .300's, but the rest of the Indians all do a good job of getting on base. They need a pitcher or two, and I'm waiting to see if they trade for one. Would they be willing to take on Randy Johnson if they thought they could win the division? (See Shapiro's remarks earlier this year.)
The top 2/3rds of the Tigers lineup ain't to shabby either.
