i know we traded him to oakland fot time hudson. he started for them for awhile but was terrible and was optioned to the triple a team and finished that year there. i also know in 2007 he was traded to the brewers and was to report to their triple a team, the nashville sounds. but its like he fell off the map since then. anyone know where this guy is or what he's doing?

not many surprises here. lots of red sox, yankees, and cubs.

if JS is going to do something, the time is now. wether its a third starter or someone who can actually hit the ball he needs to pull the trigger on whatever he can. and sadly none of it is going to involve "i make mendoza look like ted williams" jones. with the 10 and 5 status he's not going anywhere folks. but i do understand trying, he might be willing to do one last thing to help the club (we all know an adjustment at the plate isnt something he's willing to do) and accept a trade somewhere. minnesota for torii hunter, los angeles angels of anaheim california usa for gary matthews jr. something. anything at this point. but the time is now before the fans start jumping off this sinking ship.

the rangers are apparently desperate for pitching as they have signed MARK REDMAN. i cant believe anyone would give him a shot after his performance in atlanta. i understand us giving him a shot, but why would anyone give him one after all of this? maybe he can turn it around, or blow another 12 games for a team. but best of luck to texas and mark redman.

i know there was talk about moving saltalamacchia to first base or left field last year because of mccann behind the plate. any talk of him making the move to left this year? what's the use of having a switch hitting catcher with mccann at the big league level? i think in a year or so he could eliminate our platoon situation in left.

how many more games before chipper drives in a run? i'd put the over under at 2. i really think he's gonna light up these national pitchers this week. in fact, im calling a chipper home run in the first inning tonight. you heard it here first.

ahh, mike hampton out for the year...again. who saw that one coming? but whoever suggested we cross our fingers for next year has the right idea. we cant trade him and cutting him doesnt help. so, here's to better luck next year mikey.

that would bring us to kyle davies. im really impressed by him. i have been since his first start against the red sox what seems like ages ago. he's a nice guy in person, i hope he does well. but there's another young arm in the davies family everyone needs to look out for and thats the younger brother. my old highschool team faced jake davies so i went out to watch, he had pretty good stuff.

im sure my first "diary" has bored some of you, so i'll leave with this. rafael soriano is a beast. i love this guy. he's been better than advertised and alot better than gonzalez. how did we get this guy for horacio ramirez? shuerholz genius strikes again. anyone who read this whole thing, thanks for listening.
