Rust...Rust....Rust! We bought this for our son and after a little frustration with set up(missing some essential holes for clips to pop into) we thought it worked fine. Unfortunately we left it out and the sprinklers got it wet. I dried it off but it was too late....it rusted soon after and holds water inside the tubing so it was impossible to dry completely. More rust. Now everytime the ball hits the frame rusty water gets on it. Not weather-resistant at all. Don't by this unless you are going to never ever let this get wet!! One time and it's ruined.

The Bears had an abysmal outing in week one from a fantasy outlook. Adrian Peterson put up practically no yardage without a score and Rex Grossman looked putrid. Not to worry if you have Berrian on your roster. The Bears face Kansas City this week and Herm Edwards ball clubs are notorious for starting the season slow, as witnessed by last weeks game against the Houston Texans where Andre Johnson racked up a little over 140 yds and a TD. Look for Berrian to do the same against a weak Chiefs secondary, and if your worried about Grossman coughing up the ball, relax. The Chiefs have virtually no pass rush and that will give him all the time he needs to get comfortable. If you have Bernard, you should feel comfortable starting him.

Its early in the year to have QB problems, but if you do Daunte might be the answer for the short term. After losing the staring gig to Josh McCown, Culpepper might get the chance to start after the Raiders learned this week that McCown broke a finger on his throwing hand. This has trap game for the Broncos written all over it. Denver had a relatively easy time with Buffalo last week and will come into this week a little more relaxed than the season opener. If Lamont Jordan can live up to his week 1 performance it should give Daunte a quick outlet early in the game. If Culpepper can get comfortable look for him to hit Ronald Curry with the deep ball. Denvers secondary might be the best in the league, but if Culpepper can move in and out of the pocket it could by time for his recievers to get open. This is a high risk pick, and one that you will have to monitor as a game time decision, but if you have him on your roster he could be a hidden gem.

And finally, if your in an IDP league and looking for a defensive back, I might have a steal for you.

Daunte Culpepper - QB Oakland Raiders

Deuce is really only a risk because of Reggie Bush being in New Orleans, but this week should be McAllisters show. Hes a Tampa Bay nightmare. He has either rushed for a 100 yds or scored in 6 of 8 meetings with the Bucs in his career. Last year he scored in both games against them. He will lose carries to Bush, probably more and more as the year goes on, but after last weeks thumping at the hands of Indy, I look for Sean Payton to pound Deuce up the middle and try to eat up the clock while Drew Brees gets back in the habit of dinkin and dunkin down the field. Bush might outscore him in this game, but I look for McAllister to get the bulk of the touches and most of the yardage.

Deuce McAllister - RB New Orleans Saints

Butler is in his third year in New York and looked very sharp in the game last week against Dallas. This kid is an unknown in fantasy circles. If you look at the Giants you will see that the D-backs are gonna be in for a ton of tackles this year. With Osi Umenyiora banged up and the rest of the front line looking like a shadow of its former self the opposition quarterbacks will have time to get the ball down field. Butler had 6 tackles in week 1. He only averaged 26 a season coming into this year, but if I were a gambling man (and I am), Id bet that Butler will see 70 to 80 tackles this year. If you have the roster space pick him up.

About The Author

Every coach needs a good selection of baseball tryout drills that allow each prospect to demonstrate their abilities both on the field and at bat. This will allow the coaches to fully evaluate each prospects skill set to see if it indeed is strong enough for their team. It also allows coaches to build a team that will be able to work together, playing off each others strengths and covering up for the weaknesses.

To maximize productivity, while half the players hit, employ to other half to demonstrate their throwing and catching skills, using these baseball tryout. I like run a different set of drills for infielders and outfielders, since each position requires more finely tuned skills in different aspects of throwing and catching.

Kenny Buford has coached nearly every level of baseball in a career that spans several decades. You can get instant access to his championship baseball practice plans by visiting his website:

For my outfielders, a classic long toss drill helps determine which players will be able to make crucial long throws from deep center and which havent quite built up the necessary arm strength to be protecting the far corners of the field. Another great outfielder drill has players partnered up and throwing each other a variety of pop-ups, grounders and line drives. This exercise will gauge players interactions with others as well as their fielding skills in a medium-pressure situation.

Throw pitches at players one at a time. As the pitch sails towards the player call out what type of hit youd like them to perform: line drive, pop fly, foul ball, grounder. Make sure to tailor the pitches to help players make the right hit. Try to remember which players have already hit what type of pitches so you can see every player attempt to perform every type of hit.

Baseball Tryout Drills

Baseball tryout drills can only go so far. To truly gage a players performance on field, the coach must witness them in action during a game scenario. I always end each baseball tryout with a short scrimmage allowing each players at least once chance in infield, outfield and at bat.

I like to start each of my baseball tryouts with arguable the most fun part of the game: hitting. Since hitting can make or break a team, I run a number of hitting drills at each of my tryouts. The first of the baseball tryout drills to see which are the Babe Ruths and which are merely mediocre is this one which rewards players with the ability to control their hitting.

The Ins and Outs of Fielding

For the batting team, always watch players both while they are at bat and how they act when they are idle. Think twice before selecting players who goof off constantly or intentionally distract their fellow prospects, since they may become a handful and difficult to control at practices and during games.
