Just throwing this out there for conversation...I love Micah in a D-backs uniform, but wouldn't he be a far more effective player in the AL where he can DH every day and pitch every 5th day? I would think that a low-contract, non-arbitration eligible player with his upside (both picthing and hitting) would bring a haul in return. Do you think this is even something that Josh Byrnes discusses with other GMs?

(Especially for Diamondhacks!)
I (along with many others I'm sure) received a very nice letter from Derrick Hall yesterday, thanking me for my support as a season-ticket holder--along with $150 worth of concessions vouchers "to be used at the final 15 home games with no strings attached--just a thank you."  A very cool gesture.

Also I think what the front office has done with their pledge to donate $5 from every ticket sold to the United Way for the rest of the season is a very nice gesture and a great way to support the community.  As someone who is involved in a charity that receives funding from the United Way, I can say first hand how much effect donations like this have on the community.

This front office is trying to do some good things--stuff you don't read about enough.
