Enemy Lines An Opposing Team's Scout Sizes Up The Expos

The corners of the infield are glaring weaknesses. First baseman Jeff Liefer can hit an 86-mph fastball out of the park, but that's about it. In camp the Expos also used Wil Cordero at first—he can't catch a cold—and Jose Offerman, who looks 50 years old. Third base isn't any better: Fernando Tatis is a dog, a guy who doesn't react to the ball coming off the bat. They'd dump him in a heartbeat, but nobody wants him....

Montreal is pretty good up the middle with shortstop Orlando Cabrera, second baseman Jose Vidro and centerfield Endy Chavez, who is a good defensive player and has a lot of speed. The big question is, Will he hit?...

I like leftfielder Brad Wilkerson. He hits righties, he hits lefties, and he has some pop in his bat....

Vladimir Guerrero is amazing. I've never seen a guy square up on a baseball no matter where it's pitched or what type of pitch it is. He gets the fat part of the bat on the ball all the time....

I love Javier Vazquez, but he needs to mature and pitch to his potential. If Tony Armas ever pitches as good as his stuff, he'll be lights out; right now he's an underachiever....

The bullpen is a problem. I don't know how closer Scott Stewart gets big league hitters out.
