You know what they haven't been handing them out. I have Rob Gallas's email, I am going to drop him a quick line to say something to the proper people. If anyone else feels the same way as I do go to White Sox.com and find some people to email and tell them to have the ushers practially shoving ballots in people's hands!

I think that is one AB that will stick in my mind for a LONG time. That was a superstar piece of hitting against a guy who had not given up a run all year, and is going to be a great pitcher for a long time in this league.

He has been beating teams that have beaten him up in the past, so far this year. I am hoping that this is a trend that lasts.

I do like the idea of trying Harris as the leadoff hitter and moving D'Angelo down to the two spot. That could hopefully get DA a little more protection and fastballs with Frank hitting behind him.

Reading the paper today, Maggs said that Aaron hasn't been 100%, as many of us have guessed by his preformances. What I am curious of is who will play CF at Charlotte now. Do they keep Borchard in CF even though Aaron is a better defensive CF than Joe, because they want Joe to play CF in the majors, or do they put Aaron in CF and possibly slow down the Borchard to Chicago train?

BRING ME A SHRUBBERY!

Or Maggs the other night against Johan Santana, which ever came first

Heck after watching the A's serious I was kinda missing Singleton!

I agree totally with this statement. The platoon is working perfectly. You can see the growth in Olivo's game in almost every aspect of it. This arrangement should also keep Alomar healthy longer. That being said I love Miguels swing and I agree with Hawk when he says he will be a star in this league in the next few years. Maybe KW took advantage of Billy Beane for once on this deal.

Both can affect if you can be assigned to the minors. If you have been sent down a certian # of times you run out of options (and I apologize but I don't remember the EXACT #) and once you have been in the majors for a certain # of years (5 full seasons I believe, not positive) you have to accept the assignment or you can opt for free agency immediately.

I know of about 30 million or so reasons why Sammy and Maggs could have never been in our OF together...

Right now I would have to disagree with moving PK further down the line up. He is finally coming around. You do realize that he is now hitting for a HIGHER average than Carlos is? (.242 vs .244) Pauly is on a 10 game hitting streak and reached base in 18 straight games.

Man Detroit is just a team that finds a way to lose a game. No matter what it takes. Maroth has got to be the best 0-7 pitcher around

Gordon looked awesome last night. His curve had movement on it that I haven't seen for years, which made his mid 90's fastball unhittable up in the zone. I am glad to see him stepping up the way that he has. He could be huge with Koch floundering. I have already had my Harris getting called up prediction work out for me. I think Koch to the DL could be happening real soon, and we could see Flash do some closing if he keeps it up.

Jas, after going to Soxfest and listening to KW speak on how he wants to Gm this team, I think I am in his court also (and joining you on the lonely side of the fence) One thing he has proven is that he is not afraid to pull the trigger on a deal that he thinks will make this team better. Many GM's get too attached to players or are afraid to stick there necks on line. KW said at Soxfest that any GM can make the safe moves that will result in average seasons. He said that he wants to give this team every chance to win with the budget he has, and you can see he means it with the way he does his job.

Well at least Malone only walked two guys

I grabbed a bunch of all-star ballots while I was at the park last time also, cleaned out one whole holder full of them

http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2003/0501/1547624.html houston sent him down.

and if this board is anything like the ESPN board, it is probably same people as where calling for him to come up, that are saying send him down now.

It is interesting because something has to give. They also say in there that a team has never lost 100 games and then made the playoffs the next season (ahem KC)

http://espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stark_jayso...on/1547667.html This is pretty interesting write up of the history of how teams begin and where they finish.

Couldn't have been worse timing for AZ who was just starting to get hot after an awful start.

He is down to the D-Rays 4-0 after his first inning of work.
