Larry was injured for most of last year, so you have to expect him to do better than that. he is also was drafted number 1 by the orioles a while back, so they thought highly of him until he got injured. he should at least have good offensive production because he is in a very good lineup (at least in my opinion). it took me a while to come up with his stats because larry is an unkown quantity with a lot of potential. we dont know what we are going to get from him. in baltimore (a few years back), he hit 15 homeruns in the second half of that season, so i still dont know what to expect. after that great second half, he started slumping because of trade rumors that were going around about him (0r so he says). after that he got injured, traded to colorado, and injured again (i think thats how it went). also, walt had mentioned that he wanted to acquire bigbie last july at the trade deadline, but could not. so, the cards really dont know what to expect, they and the fans (us) will have to just wait and see what Bigbie can do. about his last name, bigbie. how long do you think it will take for mike shannon to call him "Big boy" instead of "Bigbie",........ we will see (lol). i bet it will not be long, probably a couple of weeks into the season (maybe even less time!).
