ALL THIS TALK ABOUT TRADING SHERRELL FOR THE MINOR LEAGUERS IS BUNK! NED DID A GREAT DEAL-THIS IS NEW ERA IN BASEBALL AND RELIEVERS ARE MUCH MORE VALUABLE THAN GIVEN CREDIT FOR-AS FOR A 3RD BASEMAN- BLAKE GETTING OLDER?- ADREAN BELTRE WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER NEXT YEAR AND HE IS STILL YOUNG -HE WOULD BE 32? ONLY IF WE WANTED TO-I LIKE CASEY BLAKE-LETS JUST SEE-I JUST LIKE OUR TEAM-PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT CHEMISTRY-AN MANNY IS MUCH MORE HELP IN THAT WAY THAN JUST HIS BIG BAT!-WE HAVE A GREAT LINE-UP-GREAT STARTERS-BROXTON-SHERRELL AND KUO GIVE US GREAT CLOSER TYPES--WEAVER AND MCDONALD HAVE DONE VERY WELL-MCDONALD STILL MIGHT BE A GREAT STATER YET

IM NOT SURE WE SHOULD CHANGE MUCH---MAYBE GIVE DEWIIT A LITTLE MORE PLAYING TIME-COLLETTI HAS REALLY DONE HIS BEST JOB THIS YEAR- AND WITHOUT THE MONEY FOR JONES AND SCHMIDT HE CAN KEEP

OUR PLAYERS-WE MIGHT ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT JOE MAUER-I KNOW EVERYONE ELSE IS AND I LIKE MARTIN

BUT MAUER IS JUST TOO GOOD AND WE DO HAVE THE MONEY NOW WITHOUT PAYING FOR THE MISTAKES ANYMORE-MARTIN WOULD GIVE US ALOT OF TRADE VALUE ALSO-AND DONT TRADE LONEY -VERY VERY GOOD DEFENSE AND 100 RBIs 280 TO 290 AND A GREAT TEAMATE  TEACH PIERRE OR EITHIER TO PLAY 1ST BASE------FINNALLY BRING THE     DH TO THE    NL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
