When your favorite player leaves your favorite team

Re: When your favorite player leaves your favorite team

I havent had time to look into that, I'm a huge Berkman fan too... Whats the playing time going to be like for Lance next year? Initially seems like he doesnt have much of a full time position, with Albert playing 158 games at first. I thought he might go AL to DH/1B platoon for a year or two. Are they planning on starting him in the outfield? Pujols, Holliday, Berkman... good middle of the lineup.

Right now, the plan seems to be playing Berkman in left, moving Holliday to right, and batting Berkman second, after Theriot and in front of Pujols (where he should see good pitches to hit) and then Holliday. Berkman can give Pujols the occasional day off, and I'm sure Berkman will get plenty of rest as LaRussa loves to rotate his bench players to keep his regulars fresh.

As a Reds fan I love the idea of the Big Puma roaming LF for the Cards!

This is why I am a player fan first before a team. Especially when a guy like Lastings is on a new team every season and it doesn't help that the Pirates just released him.
