Sports: A Game Of Inches

We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

David Eckstein's Projected Stat Line

No not our "beloved" David "MVP" Eckstein, the real one. According to BP here is what he is expected to do next year: .267/.330/.339; 3 SB, 1 CS; 1 HR, 1 3B, 12 2B; 28 R; 20 BB; 10 VORP and only out of baseball after three more years of playing. He's my fantasy sleeper pick, STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!
