Everett Carl Everett and Buck Showalter Baseball's most combustible personality paired with baseball's biggest micro-manager? Given the way Everett battled Jimy Williams in Boston, these two will be lucky to reach Memorial Day before the actual Texas Rangers are called in.

Wells David Wells and George Steinbrenner Wells has 185 career victories and a .605 winning percentage, yet has changed teams six times since 1995. He burned more bridges with his recent book. Meanwhile, Steinbrenner has been fuming all winter about not reaching the World Series last year. It won't be long before he takes out his frustration on baseball's latest author.

Griffey Ken Griffey Jr. and Bob Boone Mr. Personality is smarting from three seasons of injury and is miffed about general manager Jim Bowden calling his 2000 trade to Cincinnati a bust. After a couple disappointing finishes, Boone is on the hot seat. It won't take much for this situation to overheat.

Rose Pete Rose and Bud Selig Every time it seems Selig may be willing to grudgingly lift Rose's lifetime ban, Charlie Hustle dives into the muck again. With talk remaining that baseball may open Cooperstown's doors to Rose, what's next? He's picked up in an opium den?

Piniella Lou Piniella and the Devil Rays He's mellowed some in recent years, but as last year's base-tossing exhibition proved, Piniella still cares and he still doesn't like losing very much. Unfortunately, he's going to lose a lot in Tampa Bay, perhaps more than he ever has before. And it's not going to be pleasant. Pitching coaches beware.
