VULTURE NEWS
A couple of the Vultures have been getting some good coverage in their local papers. Miguel Cabrera is looking more and more like he might be the best $12 bargain in our league's history... I'm still stunned I got him that low, I expected to pay $16 for him and was willing to go to $20. From what the Palm Beach Post has to say, Cabrera might have even been a bargain at $19, the way he's hitting this spring.
I wasn't thrilled about having to go with Mark Loretta at second. My plan going in was to get the Angels' Adam Kennedy. But after reading this piece in the San Diego Union Tribune, I am feeling a little better about having him in my lineup. I hadn't really realized how well he played last year -- hitting .314 with 13 homers and 72 RBI -- and I was thrilled to read that he is batting .533 so far this spring. I've also read some promising reports about how Padres' rookie shortstop Khalil Greene is playing this spring... I picked him up as a $1 backup, maybe he'll turn into more.
