That said, I really do hope you're all right. It's just that the RS have not had a good record trading away SS's, each time getting rid of a competent one and replacing him with someone more expensive and not as good, hoping they could find the lightning in the bottle they found getting rid of Nomar. Looked like the streak ended with Lugo, but after today, I'm not sure. Nor am I sure why Drew's multi-million .226 average or Snyder's cheaper .212 or M'B's sub .200 is so impressive, except for the fact that all of them will spend a lot of time on the bench or DL and consequently will do little harm.

Hard to argue with a guy with a Nixon avatar, but I ask again, have you actually seen Middlebrooks 'swing the bat' (if you can call it that) at Pawtucket? Did you watch any of his performance this year? What makes you think he can get back to a year like he had his rookie year?

Yes. And he will have a lot more with his speed. Meanwhile, we can look forward to Middlebrooks at third, -- have you seen him swing the bat recently at Pawtucket? RS will have a washed up minor-leaguer, and a platoon of 220 hitters with average fielding: Snyder, Drew, MIddlebrooks, and a completely unproven one (Boggaerts). Igl. proved he could get on base, put the bat on the ball, and play several positions, and that he was one of the best fielders around. For this, they now have yet another over-age starting pitcher, with a high salary, and an ERA of 4+.
