    Happ won't ever be Santana, Price or Lester but if he could develop into a Danny Neagle type then I'd be happy.

    The 2004 team that barely missed the world series was way better.

    I don't see Wallace ever being a 30 HR guy, but the most amazing thing about Wallace, is that we actually traded Anthony Gose to the Blue Jays for him.

    Gose stats this year at AA:

    .233/.296/.278

    Gose is only 20, so he has plenty of time to improve as a player, but at his best he is likely to be like Michael Bourn.

    Honestly, I think he will end up being a 25-30 hr type player. Most years closer to 25 but once in a while getting up to 30. I mentioned during the last series that Baggy hit 15, 18 and 20 hrs before going nuts in 94, kind of see the same with Wallace.

    The Gose/Bourn comparison is spot on, I know the Jays had a 1st base prospect taking over too but letting Wallace go for Gose may come back to haunt them.

    It's amazing with the size of his legs he can't pull more power.

    Its nice having speed in all areas of the outfield. Superb defense out there.

    Even if he isn't Jason stilll brings more to the table than Carlos is right now.

    I was watching the Yahoo gamecast and noticed this. It seems like they couldn't find a current picture of Barmes. This is what shows up for his AB picture. Not positive but I'm pretty sure that isn't Clint...

    Don't know how far they plan to let him go, but A-Rod is certainly exceeding expectations today. 4 IP and only 1 hit and 1 bb.

    I've got to say this "businessman's special" game makes me really happy that I bought the MLB At Bat app for my Blackberry.

    Pretty sure that is who it is, but they are using a different photo of Weeks for his profile.

    Thanks to the rainout, you'll get another one tomorrow. Today was supposed to be a getaway day, but since the reschedule, tomorrow gets to be one.
