I am making a trip with the family. Kids 10-16, any suggestions on "family friendly" spots in the area?

The (baseball) fantasy publications are all over the board on JW. One will list him in the top 5. The next will have written him off and only include him in LF, not behind the plate. Behind the plate, they will say Olivo will start and Treanor wil be the back up. I thought JW was to be catching again yesterday? Is the back a bigger issue than the Marlins are telling us? With yesterday and today off, surely he will be back there Tuesday. I predict he will have three plate appearances, one hit (probably a double), a walk, and a AO. If JW is healthy, I guess that means AAA for MT. That would be a shame, he has a lot of history in the minors. I hope he gets a chance with the big club!

ANybody got the link fo todays game v yankees? Thanks

Does anybody have an idea when the next reduction will be announced? Didn't the last reduction only involve 4-5 players. Oh, let's not forget about the Allison and Mr. AWOL. I would think with Cabrera and Willis back, Girardi would be starting to reduce the numbers. However, it sounds like he HATES giving the bad news. I really think he wants to give everyone a fair shot and wants them to feel they got a fair shot. But them again, we need our guys to start "gelling" and get used to more than a couple of AB's. How many many spots on the roster will have a "C" designation?

The catching competition is really a fun one to watch. Girardi is probably in a no-lose situation in the short term. Either MO or JW will get the job done. Only two things to ponder....A) If we want the stick, are we willing to be patient with JW defensively? and B) long term for the organization, I think it makes more sense to let JW be the catcher. It sounds like he is progressing very well (maybe suprising a few critics) behind the plate!!
