The high altitude "edge" that most non-Rockies personnel seem to think is behind their stats is what I was referring to. Despite a 4-2 first trip record (they swept Montreal!), I am inclined to agree that it MAY be a fluke...but then so is the Marlins' streak... Larry Walker is healthy and so is Ellis Burke. Bichette is about 75% and getting stronger. And it was a lot later in the season, last year when our starting pitchers finally started carrying as much of the load as Mark Thompson, Jamie Wright, and Roger Bailey have done this spring. If the pitching can stay this solid, they could do like the 95 season, or better. ...

Certainly your DL> statistics do not prove that Alan Embree will become a good pitcher. Did I say that it did? I showed that you can't judge a pitcher by a season or two. It'll take most of the season to see the wisdom of the trade as far as Embree is concerned. If Borbon comes back as effective as he was before, Atlanta is going to have one hell of a left-handed portion of their bullpen. --- TrekEd 1.00 * Origin: Striking a blow to purists (1:170/1701) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: E4D00004 Date: 04/09/97 From: ED GRINNELL Time: 12:31pm \/To: TERRY MAY (Read 1 times) Subj: Respect Due Terry was waived by Sparky Anderson and then ranted: TM> One series does not a season, nor even a trend make.
