It's a toss-up. If you needed power and OBP you'd go for Glaus, who is also a good fielder. Gruber's more of an all-around player, gap hitter, good percentage base stealer.<BR/><BR/>I might go Glaus at third with Rance to pinch-hit and be a utility man. He did play 206 games as a shortstop, believe it or not.sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757652892056684490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-15607358362113862842008-10-16T19:28:00.000-04:002008-10-16T19:28:00.000-04:00My suggestions below.

Elsewhere, the glaring omission of Mark Eichhorn has been fixed.<BR/><BR/>LINEUP<BR/><BR/> 1. Lloyd Moseby, centre field<BR/> 2. Robbie Alomar, second base<BR/> 3. George Bell, left field<BR/> 4.

Lamp did not have league-average ERAs in 2 of his 3 Toronto seasons (yes, he had that 11-0 year, but it was kind of a fluke).<BR/><BR/>Again, the goal is to beat out the Rangers, Royals, Mariners and Brewers (who I believe will be an AL team).sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757652892056684490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-76756194912392714072008-10-16T15:47:00.001-04:002008-10-16T15:47:00.001-04:00Great to hear: congratulations!
