Last spring training he was unhittable all spring and then came to the big club and tanked. Maybe this year he struggles in spring and comes up and kicks ass on the big stage. My prediction on Delgado numbers this year: AB: 427 Ave: .244 HR: 21 RBI: 77 If anyone expects much more than that, you are delusional. The guy is having trouble swinging a bat for the love of God and like last year, he cannot catch up to the inside fastball anymore. Hell I don't know if he can catch any fastball. All year will be inside fastballs then outside junk and good-night Delgado. Of course I really really hope he bounces back and does a .280/32/100 but I don't see it happening.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('57466','Frank from Jersey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('57466','Frank from Jersey','I\'m a pessemist but i\'ll put a positive spin on Pelfry.

and Willie is already one of the four most successful managers we ever had.

Let the stress out and enjoy what is shaping up as a good year, amd perhaps even a brilliant one.

I think there are two Willie's (ooh that sounds dirty). A Press Willie and a behind the closed doors Willie. I'd like to think the behind the closed doors Willie is concerned and telling Omar to get on the phone.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('57097','Kay'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('57097','Kay','While I agree with you, I ask, what do you really expect Willie to say.
