Ausmus and his crystal ball
« on: February 28, 2007, 02:17:54 pm »
From Whitey's PPV-blog at ESPN...

Ausmus thinks Lidge will be successful again in '07, in large part due to the sinking fastball he used heavily at the end of last season.  The fastball, which bores down and in to right-handers is a great compliment to his slider.

Ausmus also thinks Sampson will win the #5 spot in the rotation.

I think the club has been pretty clear that Wandy is the #4 unless he can't find the plate or gets hurt.

So in other words, who gets the #4 spot?
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

If Lidge can truly control a looks-like-a-fastball-but-is-down-and-in sinker, to go with his looks-like-a-fastball-but-is-down-and-away slider, he'll be about as hittable as Steve Nebraska.
