Mike (Utica,NY): Is Lou Pinella the most overrated manager in baseball history.
Joe Sheehan: Not at all. If anything, he's probably underrated. If I had to finish first in a given season, I'd probably take Piniella over Torre, and maybe over La Russa.

Robert (DC): What will the clowns say when Rickey Henderson isn't voted in unanimously? He might be one of the 25 best EVER.
Joe Sheehan: They'll cite the holdout, the "selfishness," the two strikes. They'll cite the speech, pulling a single quote out of context. Probably some reference to his attitude. No mention of his love for baseball. None.
Rickey Henderson is right there with Stan Musial among the most underrated players in baseball history.

Gray (Chicago): The Cubs are the odds on, clear favorite to win the NL Central in 2009...correct?
Joe Sheehan: I think it depends on what direction the Brewers and Cardinals take. I could see either of those teams making enough smart decisions this winter to turn the Central into a fight. And you know, it's not out of the question that the Cubs make some mistakes. Too early to say.
------------------------------------------------------------
Rob (Brighton): Who wins the AL Central next year? The NL Central?
Joe Sheehan: Twins. Cardinals.
