they all got their OPS above the avg point, thats good. i have a feeling our 2B and C prodution will be below that average OPS mark next year. hopefully reyes doesnt regress too much off this year's huge improvement, delgado, wright, and beltran stay healthy, and we get more out of the outfield corners.
