And heres a list of breakthrough players from chicagosports.com By Phil Rogers Tribune baseball reporter February 10, 2004, 9:08 PM CST A look at other potential impact rookies for 2004, ranked in order of their likely impact. 1 SS Kazuo Matsui, Mets. Japanese import is a two-way player at shortstop. 2 OF Alexis Rios, Toronto. The Blue Jays' next great young outfielder, who hit .352 at Double A, might be as good as Vernon Wells. 3 1B Adam LaRoche, Atlanta. He takes over as the Braves' regular at first base. 4 SS Bobby Crosby, Oakland. He has got big shoes to fill as Miguel Tejada's replacement. 5 2B Aaron Miles, Colorado. The White Sox castoff has skills that fit well at Coors Field. 6 RHP Edwin Jackson, Los Angeles. Hard thrower picked up two big-league wins, one over Randy son, before his 20th birthday. 7 CF Jeremy Reed, White Sox. That .409 batting average at Double-A fires the imagination. 8 1B-DH Justin Morneau, Minnesota. His left-handed power got Team Canada into the Olympics. 9 RHP Adam Wainwright, St. Louis. The Braves haven't traded away many good pitchers. 10 RHP Shingo Takatsu, White Sox. Japan's all-time saves leader joins White Sox.

Here you go By Phil Rogers Tribune baseball reporter February 10, 2004, 9:29 PM CST The Minnesota Twins didn't need Mark Prior to win their back-to-back division championships. But could Prior have helped them get to the World Series? They could have had Prior in the 2001 draft but weren't sure they could sign him. Their consolation prize, catcher Joe Mauer, will be on display beginning this spring. Mauer, an all-everything in St. Paul, seems destined to be a homegrown star. He is the best catching prospect in a decade, so promising the Twins traded All-Star A.J. Pierzysnki to open a spot for the 20-year-old Mauer. That's a lot of pressure to put on a kid who has played 73 games above Class A and hit just nine homers in his first 1,030 at-bats. But part of the fun of baseball is seeing how new faces fit in. Twins Last year: 90-72, 1st; lost to New York in the first round. Manager: Ron Gardenhire. Key additions: RHP Joe Nathan. Key losses: LHP Eddie Guardado, RHP La Troy Hawkins, C A.J. Pierzynski, LHP Kenny Rogers, LHP Eric Milton. Lesser moves: Added RHP Rick Helling, RHP Carlos Silva, INF Nick Punto, INF Augie Ojeda, C Henry Blanco; lost INF Denny Hocking, SS Chris Gomez, OF Dustan Mohr, C Tom Prince, RHP Rick Reed. Big question: Can 20-year-old catching prodigy Joe Mauer establish himself after only 73 games above Class A? Look out for: Unhappy starting pitchers. Suspect rotation is certain to miss Guardado and Hawkins, who took the adventure out of late innings. Royals Last year: 83-79, 3rd. Manager: Tony Pena. Key additions: RF Juan Gonzalez, RHP Scott Sullivan, C Benito Santiago. Key losses: OFs Raul Ibanez, Michael Tucker. Lesser moves: Added INF Tony Graffanino, C Kelly Stinnett, 1B-LF Matt Stairs, LHP Jamie Cerda; lost LF Rondell White, C Brent Mayne, C Mike DiFelice, RHP Paul Abbott, RHP Alan Levine. Big question: Will Pena be able to re-instill edge that made Royals one of 2003's biggest surprises? Look out for: Zach Greinke. The 20-year-old right-hander is a wunderkind but shouldn't be needed in a starting rotation that includes veterans Darrell May, Brian Anderson and Kevin Appier along with Miguel Asencio and Jimmy Gobble. Indians Last year: 68-94, 4th. Manager: Eric Wedge. Key addition: RHP Jose Jimenez. Key losses: DH Ellis Burks, RHP Danys Baez. Lesser moves: Added 2B Ronnie Belliard, INF Lou Merloni, OF Adam Piatt, LHP Scott Stewart, RHP Mark Wohlers, RHP Bob Howry; lost LHP Terry Mulholland, RHP Jose Santiago. Big question: Can closer Bob Wickman come back strong after missing 2003 because of Tommy John surgery? Look out for: A compelling center-field battle. Milton Bradley hit .321 during another injury-plagued season. But he is being pushed by top prospect Grady Sizemore as well as Alex Escobar, the former New York Mets' top prospect acquired in the Roberto Alomar package. Tigers Last year: 43-119, 5th. Manager: Alan Trammell. Key additions: C Ivan Rodriguez, RHP Jason Johnson, 2B Fernando Vina, SS Carlos Guillen, OF Rondell White. Key losses: None. Lesser moves: Added RHP Esteban Yan, RHP Alan Levine, C Mike DiFelice, C Bobby Estalella, 2B Brent Abernathy, 3B Greg Norton, OF Marcus Thames, RHP Ariel Prieto; lost INF Shane Halter, SS Ramon Santiago, C A.J. Hinch, C Matt Walbeck. Big question: Is there any way to restore confidence of starters Mike Maroth, Jeremy Bonderman and Nat Cornejo (a combined 21-57 in 2003)? Look out for: Brian Schmack, 30, a right-hander from Barrington and NIU, who'll be in thick of bullpen competition.

As a former youth official i am surprised that this doesn't happen more often. Parents need to take a chill pill and leave the refs alone. You old people are not always right. :headshake :banghead

We started playing a cool game on my dorm room floor. The premise is that you draw a card. Then you draw a second different card, and you assassinate whoever the second card corresponds to (who drew that card as their first). After you assassinate the person you take their cards and go after the person they were supposed to go after. It is immensly paranoid and gets really heated. I got taken out in the first round during one of my classes. In a huge lecture hall right before class one of my floormates had followed me to class and took my cards. I'm sure this would be alot of fun in an office setting, so try it at work
