Beckham rising to the competition with Tank.
As amped as I am for Tank, I was more excited about Slayer.

If Vicedo sticks around and plays 3rd Ozzie has to use Omar for late inning D . No way around it really.
I thought of this too
If Dayan sticks around and you can't trade Teahen, he'd essentially make one of Andruw/Kotsay need to be cut if you acquire a power lefty.

Kotsay will still be around even if we pick up a hitter. Guy who can get hits pinch hitting are pretty useful. That should be his role not batting 3rd or 5th.
This is where it becomes tricky, due to Ozzie's refusal to use Omar for mop-up time.
You could cut Frodo, but then you have no real pinch runners.
Andruw could be cut, but he's your only real back up OF.
Kotsay could be cut, but you lose a pinch hitter.
My guess would be Frodo however.
Also, if this game were at the Cell, Dayan & Rios would have 2R HRs

Not bad but I think I prefer more of a gap hitter OBP .280+ type rather than a HR or walk guy.
I prefer a HR or Walk Guy with a .280 avg over Kotsay.

If my wildest dreams of Lebron & Bosh come true. I'm getting player t-shirts of the entire starting five.
Kirk (assuming he is SG still) and Noah don't have player t-shirts.
And it angers me greatly
**** you ESPN.
They had "Peavy Sparkles" on their highlight list, and I wasn't able to watch yesterday.
Then, they showed Cards/A's and just deleted the Peavy Sparkles.
I hate not getting MLB Network.

I loved reading Cowley's article where JR debunks all of his stories. " A source told the Sun-Times" he uses a lot when JR says a report isn't true. Its the same Cowley who hoped Soxnet would get new sources for Christmas. Funny how that works out. Joe also failed to mention his "exclusive" report that JR banned KW from roadtrips this year, was also deemed false by JR.
I had to read that article now and it was quite hilarious.

And Kotsay could be back in the role that he's best made for, bench guy/spot starter.
Kotsay would likely be cut in that scenario.

Ok, the Cavs need to realize to get Bosh in a sign and trade, they'd need desirable pieces.
Antawn Jamison, Mo Williams, and others are not desirable pieces due to age/contract.
