And hopefully, at the end of the day, we’re going to do something special.”The Braves have a lot of questions going into the 2010 season, though. The path to the Finals is already looking increasingly hard, and with Paul Pierce’s mysterious foot injury, is a lineup of Allen, Kendrick Perkins, and Rajon Rondo going to win ballgames? No.In other news, reassuring a city that doesn’t seem bent on seeing Ray-Ray go-go, GM Danny Ainge put trade rumors involving Allen to rest, at least for now. I am a Communications Studies major at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA.The great thing about my major is that I get to have a “capstone” senior research project and the topic is pretty much whatever I want it to be.Sports was a natural choice of topic for me, and I decided to look at the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry.So, Bleacher Reporters, even though this is not a “traditional” article, I have been impressed in times past by the members of this community helping other members out. The Indians have called a press conference for 1:30 pm today, where they are expected to announce that GM Mark Shapiro will move to a new role as team president and Assistant GM Chris Antonetti will take over the GM role, effective after the 2010 season. A foundation of Barbosa (27), Dragic (23), Lopez (21), three-point marksman Channing Frye (26), sixth man Jared Dudley (24), and rookie Earl Clark (22) may be more appealing to Phoenix than a couple years of quasi-contention with an inconsistent Stoudemire, and veterans Nash, Richardson, and Grant Hill.The Suns’ youth as presently constituted does lack star power, which is what the Suns hope to acquire if/when they deal Stoudemire.

Although quarterback Chris Turner has controlled the Maryland offense for the past few years, Robinson has already shown people that he is capable of taking over the reins.Last season, Robinson played the final four games when Turner went down with an injury.Although his numbers were not overwhelming, he improved with each game.He also threw no interceptions in 85 attempts?a statistic that Verica would love to claim.Robinson also brings a dual-threat capacity that Turner never had: He ran for 129 yards against the vaunted Virginia Tech Hokies in a loss.With spring training coming up and Robinson tentatively penciled in as the future, his experience and confidence should make him a pretty solid quarterback for next season.Coach Ralph Friedgen needs Robinson to continue to improve. His standup is very suspect, but he is more than able to make any MMA heavyweight or LHW tap out if he gets the fight on the canvas. Iupati is fairly polished for the ground game at the next level, but has flaws in his pass protection technique and got routinely abused in the Senior Bowl.
