Couple of quick notes:

Chump, why isn't Garcia working out in RF? First of all, spring training stats are virtually meaningless. But, Garcia's are fine. He's hitting .276 with a .483 Slugging percentage. Sounds fine to me. (ESPN doesn't display walks, so I don't know what his OBP is.)

I agree about McEwing and Zeile. I think Duquette did a good job with the big moves this offseason, but a terrible job with the little moves. A strong bench is important because injuries and days off are inevitable. There's no reason for Joe McEwing to be on a major leage roster. It's particularly upsetting because the Mets had a perfectly good alternative who was much cheaper (Scutaro) and let him go. We've had to suffer through over 500 McEwing plate appearances the last 2 years, there's no excuse for more.

Good article at Playboy.com (I read it for the articles) alleging that the entire reason for the BALCO investigation is because some guy at the IRS hates Bonds ("He's such an asshole to the press.")

MEL-VIN MOR-A!!! Melvin Mora may run for President of Venezuela!
