hopbitters – it’s a blog thing – just a bell and whistle, really.

That dive back into first concerned me as well, see Vlad Guerrero last night. But what exactly was he thinking, being that far off base in the first place? He was close to being out and the run may not have scored. Dumb.

What’s a trackback ping?

The Clippers OF scene is ugly – that’s why they took Russ Johnson the last time they needed a body.

I’d say let Williams be the full-time DH, or let him play LF.

No one down in Columbus that would fit the 4th OF profile?

Rickey says someone should give Rickey a call

I never really worry much about Rodriguez throwing his body around. He’s a big guy, but probably one of the more physically fit players in the game. When he took out that catcher last year (was it against Tampa Bay?) you could see that he’s not the kind of guy that will go down easy. It’s guys like Jeter I worry about, the lanky ones that aren’t as big. I just see them as more fragile for some reason.

And not a slugging OF but one that can play the field. 1B and 2b should be platooned…except their all lefties…Womack and Cano need to stay in the lineup
