Olney you
Buster Olney has his "Spring Capsules" for the AL up. Everyone go point and laugh.
Actually, for the first time... perhaps ever... I agree with something Buster Olney has written. Sort of. Behold:
But if Vlad doesn't hit for some reason, or if he's hurt, the Angels' attack would suddenly look very thin; no player this side of Barry Bonds is more important to his team's offense than Guerrero is to the Angels. They've got to keep him healthy and on the field.
I take this to mean that Olney feels the Angels are too dependent on Vlad, which I would have to agree with. Of course this would contradict a statement from Olney earlier in that same paragraph, in which he states that "the Anaheim lineup should be tough and deep and efficient..." So which one is it Buster? Are they "deep", or are they overly-dependent on one slugger?
