That said... LF...do we really want to trade for a guy that doesn't want to play the position? 2B...Polanco is bound to get on track soon and just got inked to an extenstion DH...DY has nagging injuries The only scenario I could really see working would be to trade Monroe + a prospect to Washington. Stick Soriano at 2B. Slide Polanco over to 3B (he's played there before). Put Inge in LF.

All five starters have been great, the bullpen has been solid/deep, and there've been offensive contributions all the way down the lineup. Maybe a power-hitting third baseman, with Inge moved to utility man? And if Dmitri can't get healthy and productive, there'd be room for another bat. I don't follow the rest of the league closely enough to know who might become available.

One thing to think about and I realize its early, who would be a good player to grab for the strech?. I think everyone would have an opinion on that. Thanks doing this Blog, I personally love it.

I think most of us are just fine with 99% uptime. The extra 9s can get expensive. Don’t worry about it, Billfer. I think most of us are just fine with 99% uptime. The extra 9s can get expensive.
