Big Things From Bradley Jr.

Every young player needs time in the Big Leagues before they're ready to go. The same can be said for Red Sox left fielder, Jackie Bradley Jr. The rookie has loads of talent on both field and at the plate, but has only a .143 batting average, through the first week. Bradley Jr, is one of the kind of players, who right now is sitting in the eight spot in the lineup, but could work his way up to as high as lead off, if all goes right. In my mind, however the ceiling for Bradley Jr. would be the five spot, to help out a righty dominated line-up. The reason I don't see Bradley Jr. Getting any higher, is due to the fact that with Ellsbury leading off, it's hard to see two of your lefties hitting early in a righty dominated line-up.

Down The Stretch:
If I haven't already stated it, I think Bradley Jr. is going to be HUGE for this Red Sox team in the upcoming years. With a great glove, and potentially productive at the plate, he is going to really help this team for years to come.

Playoff Hunt

As the playoffs draw near for the NBA, only two teams have to compete for one spot (Yes I am saying that Houston, and Golden State are in). These two are the Los Angeles Lakers are Utah Jazz. If I told you that these two teams were the teams vying for a spot in the playoffs, in October, you'd call me crazy, and say that the Lakers are stacked, and then give me the whole spiel about how The Lakers have Nash, Kobe, Pau, and Howard. But, sometimes, too many good things is bad, especially in the NBA. The thing about the NBA is that you can have two players, and still win it all. Look at the 2010 Lakers for instance, or the 2009 Magic that were right there in the Finals. But the thing is, The Lakers have four, not even including World Peace or Jamison who can hold their own, players who are within the Top 40 in The NBA Today. Meanwhile, as predicted, The Jazz have struggled to hold onto their spot in the playoffs, but have won their last two, putting them a half game up on The Lake Show. It's a two way hunt for the eight seed, who wants it more?

Stay tuned for more on the Lakers playoff hunt

Red Sox Shortstop

If the Boston Red Sox have had one common plague over the past decade or so, it has been a shortstop. Over the past few seasons, it has been a shortstop carousel in Boston, but this season, they have two valid choices. Stephen Drew is a veteran player, who can be big at the plate, especially in run scoring opportunities. José Iglesias on the other hand is more of a great fielder, but through six games, he has put up very impressive numbers. Drew's constant contact, can help the Sox, but I think that Drew is the shortstop for a few years in Boston. That is until Bogaerts is ready.

Quick Look- National Championship

The Louisville Cardinals are back on top of the College Hoops world, and their dancing like its 1986. The Card Crew was without question the nations best team down the stretch, and after a long, upset crazy season, Louisville finally emerged late, as the team to beat. In the end, the Cardinals were, undoubtedly the best team in the

NCAA Championship Preview

Tonight is it. One more game, one last chance to steal the spotlight. Does it get any better? Trey Burke, Peyton Siva; Tim Hardaway Jr., Russ Smith; Glenn Robinson, Luke Hancock... The list goes on. Tonight, one coach, Belien, or Pitino will cut down the nets of the college basketball season, the same nets that we saw thousands of shots sink through, hundreds of dunks thrown through, buzzer-beater galore, and plenty of gut wrenching upsets. So where does this season stand all-time? It depends what you want to see. Do you want an even playing field, or do you want a giant who every wants to upset. In my mind, this season isn't a season with no outstanding teams, it's a season with too many great teams. Now for my prediction- drumroll please……… I think that it will be one of those games that comes down to the finish. Now, in my bracket I took Louisville to win it all, but in my other bracket I took Michigan... My pick The Wolverines with the upset.
