BASEBALL: Partial Progress
Jose Valentin's OBP in 2005: .326
Jose Valentin's OBP in 2006: .325
Which is funny, since in 2005 Valentin batted a punchless .170 and slugged .265 and looked completely finished, whereas this year he's batting .284 and slugging .528.
If he'd hurry up and turn back into Jose Valentin, you could trade for Ronnie Belliard. No catchers, please.
