I'd like that deal. But I'm torn. I don't think they're out of it yet and i don't want to see Thome leave. I'm still hoping that he'd turn it around.

Prospects that we need or playoffs?!? Argh!

Ramirez could also play 3rd and possibly CF (Boston thought about moving him there).

My man Utley.  :yay

By the way, what's up with Bell.  I've noticed he hasn't played much since the break.  Is it his back?

Yeah -- he hurt it picking up a stack of magazines. Unbelievable. :-D

Bell = vadge

Not sure I'd go there with that.  Once the back goes once (which I believe it did with Bell), it's prone to go out again.  My doctor told me to make sure to lift anything over 10 pounds using my legs and not the back.

Sounds hilarious, but it doesn't take much to screw up the back.

Besides, at least he didn't fall down the stairs carrying deer meat.  :-D

Not that I don't think Bell is a Hoyda, but backs are tricky like that. I was pulling on my boot one day, pinched a nerve, hit the deck, and couldn't walk for about 20 minutes. It took a shot of Tordal and about 400 mgs of Valium through an IV to take the pain away. I just started working out again after 3 months of rehab  :-\

How about this one being talked about over on PP:

Wagner, Thome and somewhere between 30-70% of Thome's salary to Boston for Arroyo, Shoppach and Hanley Ramirez
Like I said somewhere else, if Epstein offers that he's retarded. If Wade declines that, he's retarded. But we already knew that. Arroyo would most likely be your 3rd pitcher?, Shoppach would play as soon as Lieberthal leaves, and Ramirez could play for Bell, or Lofton/Michaels, whoever leaves first. Hanley is amazing.

I'd make Shoppach the starter now and designate Lieberthal for assignment.  :D

Shoppach strikes out alot, but he's got a good average, HR, and RBI totals.

Lieberthal doesn't out a lot, or do the rest of it.  He's in love with the popfly.  :paranoid

Kiss of death:  Peter Gammons just said that there was "no chance" the Phils would trade Billy Wagner.

Pack your bags, Billy!

Gammons is the baseball equivalent of Merill Hoge.
