JUST TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.....IN HIS SECOND SEASON (FOLLOWING  ROOKIE 
STATUS)  A-ROD HIT .358 WITH 36 HR's AND 123 RBI's WHILE SCORING  141 
RUNS........    I'D WAIT A YEAR FOR  THAT



No argument on that, Buddha.  But how many A-Rod's are there and do  you 
really think that either Gordon or Clement is the next one?
 
Don't get me wrong - I love magic beans.  They're like instant lottery  
tickets - they're fun to scratch and every now and then you win a few  bucks.  Who 
knows - maybe Jared Weaver is the next Sandy  Koufax.  He probably isn't - 
he's probably another failed prospect to  throw on the heap, but its fun to 
watch, wait and see.  
 
And if Baseball America pronounces that the odds that a  given lottery ticket 
is a winner are higher than normal, sometimes you can  find someone who wants 
to buy the ticket at a premium.  
 
Isn't that the game that we all play?
 
I'm just trying to throw a little cold water on all the excitement about  the 
beans.  They're still just beans after all.
