Kawakami seems to be trying his best to combine the worst of Rogers and Cowley. A recent example is this article he penned while evaluating both the Giants and A’s roster.

My favorite part of the article is how he defines his "keepers" and here’s his definition: A keeper is someone who could play a productive role on a playoff-level team or could be traded to acquire more keepers.

He then goes on to divide the rosters into keepers and non-keepers. He goes Rogers on us with comparing the numbers of keepers from each team and the change in the number of keepers vs. last year.

Also worth noting, he goes on to pull a Cowley by having Rowand as a keeper last year and a non-keeper this year.

I know these accidents happen everyday, most recently in Donte Stallworth's drunk driving incident, but it's still shitty.

I was listening to the A's vs. Angels last night and the dude pitched a good game, pitching himself out of trouble on multiple occasions.

Bottom line, if you're going to drink or get high, call a cab.

I realize he may not make it to the Sox, but Gaudin might be an asset in the event one of C+C rehab factory goes down. Fangraphs player page here.

Pissing in the wind, I know, but I thought I would put it up here in case you didn't see it already.

Originally, I thought either of them would be an improvement over Corky, but check out the range of predictions (Marcel, Bill James, etc.) lifted from Fangraphs:
Corky Miller wOBA .281-.315
AJ wOBA .267-.279
Bako wOBA .249-.278
K Hill wOBA .229-.236
I guess the Sox could do much worse than Miller, thoughts?

-Edited Barko to Bako, thanks larry!

Carl's latest at the link, it's a doozy!

Is this an option to cure the Sox CF suckfest? Will colintj consider putting him on the CF WAR spreadsheet?

I ran across this article on dynamic stretching and thought of those among us still playing ball, running, surfing, or even playing with themselves. We wouldn't want anyone to pull a muscle. ;)

Dynamic stretching was news to me, so here's hoping the article helps you in whatever activities in which you wish to engage.
