Luckily we play in the cupcake division and play all losing teams down the stretch so there is still hope. If they make it to the playoffs, I suspect a quick exit.
So I was pissed off that we didnt make any trades until I listened to Lance on 1530 last night, he made some very valuable points. We have amazing talent in AAA that is absolutely lighting it up... Dickerson is hitting above .400, just brought Springer up, have Isringhausen, have Harang, have Bailey... we didn't make a trade because we can cherry pick the guys that are on rehab assignments and if they dont pan out, its not costing us anything. The best move will be the Dickerson up and Stubbs taken out back and shot... I'm all for that one ... after all whats the point of have a river so close if you cant throw a few crappy players in it??
