First off, how in the world did Kenny Williams get snubbed for GM of the year?
Now that I got that off my chest I’d like to ask a few questions. I’ve watched every televised game this spring. Does Joe Crede’s swing and plate presence look as good to you as it does to me? Who do you think is gonna have big years this year (both offensively and starting-pitching wise)? My “Picks To Click” are, Crede, Dye, Pierzinski and Thome, Contreras, Vasquez and obviously the big southpaw Mark Buerhle. –Andrew Link, Arlington Heights, Ill. The voting for executive of the year was done during Cleveland’s surge last September, and there’s a small cartel of GMs who voted for Mark Shapiro. Shapiro did an exceptional job last season, but it wasn’t Kenny Williams who signed Juan Gonzalez for $4 million last season. It’s an important year for Joe Crede, but his confidence should help him work out of the roughest slumps. I look for Crede to have a big year and possibly move up in the batting order. My sleeper in the rotation is Javier Vazquez, who should prosper as a fifth starter. Tw
