Thanks, DonS… Arod just canceled his interview with us.

a couple comments:
almost unanimous pick for Ichiro to win the batting crown. Probably means he wont do it. Too obvious.
Same for Prince with NL HR.
I thought Helton was an interesting pick for NL BA but he did hit .320 last year. Does it surprise anyone that he’s only 34?
