Madson plays for the Phillies.

Will people lay off Macias? I mean, he's hit .287, and is pretty good off the bench. He's filling in his role pretty damn good if I say so myself.

Yea, but just because all the cool teams are doing it. Mariano Rivera is the only guy left that can wear #42, right? Personally, I think retiring 42 for all 30 teams was ridiculous. The only team that should have it retired is the Dodgers. Let players wear it on the other 29 teams to honor Robinson. Pardon my stupidity, but was retiring 42 for all the teams another one of Bud Selig's bright ideas? Yes.

Where would you put him? In center? Lawton on the bench? Padilla is a righty, and at least Holly isn't playing. He could start Burnitz in CF and Lawton in RF, but that would make him play a rookie and rookies are bad.

3 Words: DUSTY BAKER SUCKS. How can he not start Murton? Oh, that's right, he's a rookie. And all rookies are bad, right Dusty?

Shingo Takatsu - R - White Sox The White Sox released Shingo Takatsu. So much for being a September call up for the Sox, as the AL Rookie of the Year runner-up last year will be looking for a new team. Aug. 1 - 4:27 pm et

I hope Patterson NEVER returns to the Cubs.

I pm'ed you about a cool TPIR fan site.

Its so hard to tell when they're having a new episode or a rerun. Good show though. They usually have re-runs during the summer/

Wow, Raffy, you really dissapointed me. I believed you when you said you never take steroids. :(

The only way I want Patterson in Wrigley is if he's playing on another team. Of course Hendry thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I hate having to be out of market and having to pay $100+ to see the games on TV. Especially having to stay in one place to watch the game. It really gets annoying. I think they should go back to having all the games on WGN and putting all the Sox games on CSN. After all, who has the bigger national audience?

I'd go: Todd Lawton Burnitz Your freaking crazy. Hollandsworth? With his robust .250 AVG? I'd take Murton and his OBP thank you very much.

Murton's not very good? Hitting .350 in AA and 15 for 34 in the big leagues isn't good?

Lawton has good speed. He generally gets about 25 SBs or more when he plays a full year. Yup, he has 16 steals so he should be able to play CF.
