Hillman banned from in-game strategery (we wish)

The word on the street is that the Royals are offering Mahay to the Phillies for SS prospect Jason Donald, who looks like a young Mark Grudz to us. (But the Red Sox have a SS prospect and a hankering for Mahay too...The Rays also have a nice SS prospect, Brignac.)

What role will Aviles have next season?

BTW, it wouldn't surprise us if Butler ends up getting traded to Boston at some point. We're betting Bill James and Allard Baird value Butler's potential (and devalue his shortcomings) more than DM.

BTW II, Grudz is almost certain to be traded, isn't he? (Or is his back hurt again?)

If we were DM, we would issue an executive order to Hillman: no more bunts or steal attempts for the rest of the season.

Whatever DM does, he'd better not trade Greinke.

Our next good first baseman is going to be a Hawaiian. Look it up.

Nice to see Gordon go deep.

We need to find a good platoon partner to go with Teahen next year.

It seems that Aviles is penciled in to be the everyday 2B, even though he looks like a passable SS to me. It will be easier to replace a 2B that a SS. But what do I know, well besides more baseball strategy that Hillman.

God forbid they DH guillen and let Butler play 1B. I mean where the hell is Gload suppose to play if we do that?
