Welcome
The Greatest Show on National League Turf!
Okay, we're the only show on NL turf. But hey, we don't just provide you with one stadium to watch our games. We've got TWO! I'd like to see all the other NL teams match that. All sarcasm aside, welcome one and all to the early 2004 MLB fantasy season. I'll be your Montreal host, Matt Allen, available for all your 'Spos diamond demands. Feel free to e-mail me at exposflb@hotmail.com for any Expos related topics. I'll be happy to answer what I can as soon as I can.
There's No “V” in Team
Vlad's gone. Vazquez's gone. This Expo team that finished just a shade over the .500 mark last year is due for a HUGE drop, right? Not so fast. The Expos report to Viera/Melbourne, Florida next week to start what will hopefully be their final season north AND south of the border as our good friend Bud has declared that the Expo ownership mess needs to be straightened up by the end of the year. The good news for Expos fans is that this final stadium-hopping season could be much better than it would seem. Even without Vlad and Vazquez, there still may be plenty of V's (as in victories) to go around.
Drafts, drafts...and more drafts
It's that time of year again. The pulse-pounding, desk-smacking, chair-spinning-with-hands-in-the-air-'cause-you-got-that-shortstop-the-other-guys-passed-up, time of year again. Draft time! Drafts are taking place almost continuously on ESPN and other fantasy web sites, so you, as the drafter, need to know about the best draftees to take your team to the top. For the Montreal take, I'll be giving a quick overview of the best options to lay claim to from the 'Spos within the next week. Some of us can't wait for Spring Training to draft, so for you early drafters, I'll give you the best outlook possible for this season for all positions in a few days.
Bing-Bong-BING! (Imagine a battery commercial)
Pitchers and catchers report first, so that's the report I'll give first. Next week when the Montreal battery reports to camp, I'll report with a preview on the rotation, the pen, and guys calling the signals behind the dish. The pitchers and catchers report February 19, all other players on February 24, and the first full squad workout is scheduled for February 25. So until then, reporting for the Expos, this is Matt Allen--ESPN. (Haven't all armchair fans wanted to say that just once?)
