    2013 MLB sleepers to keep an eye on

    Will Myers - KC Royals - Mike Trout potential

    Zack Wheeler - NY Mets - Strike out artist, eye popping minor league numbers.

    Travis D'Anaud - Jays - Power hitting catcher with defensive skills. Could put up monster numbers.

    Casey Kelley - SD Padres - got shelled last night, will be a good starter.

    Robbie Erlin - SD Padres - Scouts say he's the second coming of Cliff Lee


    Tony Cingari - Reds - Dude can flat out pitch, tearing up the minors as a starter, should start in the pen next season for Cincy

    Adam Eaton - Arizona - Speed demon with pop, will make Chris Young's days in 'Zona numbered.

    Mike Scoscia -- Will be sleeping in his own bed nightly, as he will no longer manage an MLB team in 2013.

    Didn't Moreno say hes' coming back?
    Neither dislike or like him as a manager, who you going to replace him with?
    Torre has a front office gig, all the other good potential managers are locked up by their teams.

    Why a re-tread? Hire a new up and comer, with fresh ideas. Everyone on that Angels team is way too comfortable. Some have jobs b/c of who they are friends with. Namely, Latroy Hawkins being employed b/c he is best friends with Torri Hunter. Do not tell me Hawkins is on the team b/c of his effectiveness. Mike has a say on personnel, and trades also. The Vernon Wells contract is enough to have anyone fired.

    Do I have anything personal vs Mike? No, but you can not fire the players.

    Vernon Wells is a lucky man.
    He's due 21 million for the next two years, got that contract on what he used to do in Toronto, he's 35 or so, bat speed is diminished, and Mike Trout has made people say "Vernon who?"

    They should give Segura at shot but Kendrick and Aybar are stable up the middle, they need to get on more.
    Can Segura play third? Get rid of Callapso, he's not a corner man.
