about Thomas, my pick for a break-out season is Carlson. I wish Hudson wasnt out for the year. I hear C. Martinez is doing well in winter ball, but he's such a head case, final year for him to put up or shut up. Been a Cardinal-Yankee fan since I was like 6 yrs old. Would love to see a WS match-up like 1964 before I die. Nice to see Rolen move up in HOF voting, maybe next year. BTW, IMO, Henry Aaron still all time HR leader and Maris, single season HR leader.
