Luol would have to play great next year so they could trade him off for expirings, and then they could go after LeBron while having a position for him and still being able to go after a big man. You're more likely to see Amare or Bosh here. It's not just Luol that they can clear out. They can move Hinrich for expirings and still compete for a 2010 Free Agent I'm sure they'll do everything they can to get Chris Bosh via trade this offseason. Perhaps a sign-and-trade.

AJP behind the plate = amateur hour

Pretty appropriate that this is on channel 666 for me

I think Alexei just looked over to see Ozzie laughing at him or something. After that catch of the linedrive where he ducked I base this on nothing but anyone else think Alexei just finds Ozzie incredibly annoying?

The all-Hawklove team CF - Gomez RF - Markakis SP - Halladay or bert blyleven not to say that two of those arent great guys, but boy can hawk gush

i treat power rankings like i do album reviews from critics. i find one person's take interesting, it might be enough to get me interested in following a team (buying a cd)... but i do not hold it as any sort of almighty truth

Baltimore Bartman!

perhaps Getz is our Theriot

josh goes to very deep center, ground rule dbl

Dude, Dobrow's awesome. Warning readers about his own ranking methods: "they take into account the seething hatred I have for your team, whoever it might be, because I'm dumb and I have a hidden political agenda and I live on the East Coast so I go to bed before its games are done.

Hawk's discussion of the echelons of strength RE Flowers is the first horribly classic thing he's said this year so far

Scott's hair is positively horrible

We're pretty good at boosting the confidence of America's pitching youth. Tampa Bay starters, eh piece of cake. But people whove never been on a field before, look out!!

It would have been really easy to get Alexei out at third on that grounder. If they wanted to get him they couldve

Alexei very nice Brian gets the job done, small ball is finally happening with this team.

Just to clarify - "I dont need more extra base power on this team"... mainly just talking about our current resources for filling the 9-hole... obviously if extra base power comes in the person of Grady Sizemore being traded here, then great But if we're talking just Anderson v. Wise...... I've always been for Wise because he can get hotter for stretches. That's what recent history bears out. Both have shown they can hit in AAA. Wise has done something recently here in big at-bats however. All that said, Wise will not take walks. I'm convinced of it. If Anderson wants to learn to take walks and hit enough to make that worthwhile...... that plus the defense is enough for me to favor him. Obviously the sample size right now is small and we still have to see.

If I was a guy like JD I would probably get thrown out on plays like that all the time. My brain would just reflex to back when I actually did have speed. I wouldnt be able to tell myself "hey i'm slow now, hold up"

I'm so glad CQ is not a member of the turtle squad. We really do need Carlos' speed in that part of the lineup. The playoffs were unbearable without it. Well not that we hit anyway to make it matter.

OK! at least somethin here.

I dont understand Jim's mindset at the plate ever

I hope this at-bat doesnt become a clear portrait of why Fields shouldnt bat #2. dammit
