Here is a prediction--Alan Wiggins will disappear again in about two months. Even after seeing Lenn Sakata make two errors in that game against the Yankees, I believe he should be their starting second baseman. On an everyday basis, Sakata could hit about 10 homeruns and bat about .260. When playing on a regular basis, I believe Sakata is a steady fielder. -- Al Gates BDM Corporation {seismo,rlgvax}!bdmrrr!gates 7915 Jones Branch Drive McLean, Virginia 22102 (My opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the BDM Corporation)
