Their logic is that
without Portis, Sharpe or McCaffery, Smith should have lots of balls go his way.[/quote]
I'd be extremely suprised if Sharpe or McCaffrey will have any balls thrown their way this year......just my opinion.

Ummm, Budman, it does say
without McCaffery and Sharpe, or are you just reiterating the obvious?

The way it is written, if one is reading with proper grammar in mind, it looked like he was saying that Sharpe, McCaffrey and Smith will have alot of balls thrown their way this year without Portis there. The right way for him to say it would have been "Their logic is that without Portis, Sharpe and McCaffrey around, Smith should have a lot of balls thrown his way.
Sorry....his grammar confused me there...doesn't take much you know! LOL!
