Thurgreed hit it on the head when he noted that Torre played conservative and scared once Matsui and Sheff came back. As flat as they were in Game 2, I would have started Melky and Craig Wilson just to get some speed. Whatever. They need to dump A-Rod and Sheffield, keep going with the youth movement (a la Cano, Melky), see if Duncan can hit, and bring up Hughes mid year.

ESPN's magazine had a big piece a few weeks back about how speed is essential in the playoffs (the issue with Reyes on the cover). They ranked the 8 playoff teams (9 actually, because they included the Phils, I guess at press time they were still in it) on the basis of team speed. The Mets were #1. The Tigers, A's and Cardinals were #s 7-9.
I think the Tigers have another 8 wins in them.
