I will be very interested to see what comes of game appearances from Cowart, Edlefsen, Hinshaw, Pereira, Romo, and especially Waldis Joaquin.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, word is Henry Sosa had surgery to repair a torn patella tendon near the beginning of winter ball and won't be participating in spring games. <BR/><BR/>Wilmin Rodriguez is one of my sleeper/breakout candidates for this year.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563811.post-83727184328759072772008-02-20T19:01:00.000-08:002008-02-20T19:01:00.000-08:00Most are not to fond of it but who would you rathe...Most are not to fond of it but who would you rather shag flyballs for Vizquel? or Villalona?
