		<description><![CDATA[I woudln&#039;t worry about that too much JD...

The most likely scenario is he will be playing 3B sometime in August after Wright is traded away!

Only way I see that not happening is if they find some way to trade Bay instead!
Getting rid of Bay will give them the payroll room they need to keep Wright.

Kirk will probably be called up to play CF if he stays healthy and continues where he left off leaving either a move of Duda to Bay&#039;s position with possibly Torres moving into RF or leaving Duda where he is and having Torres move to LF to replace Bay!

The only other possibility is Ike has a relapse and Murphy goes back to 1st!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Duda slugged over 500 the last 3 months of the season with an OPS over 900. guy was an absolute machine the second half of the season. his outfield defense is brutal --even if he&#039;s not getting charged with errors he misread tons of balls last year and got terrible jumps which let balls fall in. errors don&#039;t tell the whole story, but if he can rake for a full season like he did in the 2nd half, this lineup&#039;s gonna look a whoole lot better...]]></description>

strachs, why you hatin on schwindeisel  so hard? 3.95 ERA in 26 starts in buffalo last year, and in 4 starts/appearances last year, if you get rid of his first crappy start against the bravos, schwinden had a 3.38 ERA which is pretty damn impressive..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think back to another Ramirez who dogged it so much that it came to the point he purposely dogged running out ground balls to force a trade out of Boston.  His play didn&#039;t sit well with his teammates and by that time they couldn&#039;t want for him to leave.

But also think of how often one dogging it costs wins for the club.  

That&#039;s why I think there is the potential explosion in Miami with Ramirez having to give up his shortstop position to Reyes.  He&#039;s not going to take it lying down... or maybe that&#039;s exactly what he&#039;ll be doing.   As long as it doesn&#039;t affect play on the field all the other nonsense will be tolerated but when it extends to between the foul lines, that&#039;s a powder keg waiting to explode unless the star is either benched or sent packing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#039;t say his skills have deteriorated but I can&#039;t say his skillsets are still there. He can&#039;t catch up to a good fastball anymore,his strikeouts rate has skyrocketed and his defense has been below average the last 2 seasons. I&#039;m not saying he&#039;s washed up or anything but I&#039;d be totally shocked if he ever played at the level he did from 05-08

. I think you&#039;re also giving him too much credit for his 2010 season.Although his power numbers increased significantly from 2009 he did most of that damage over a 6 week period from late May until the allstar break and then tore it up in September after a weak July and hideous August. He was very inconsistent in 2010. The overall numbers were fine but you would like him to be a little more consistent than he was and a lot less streaky.]]></description>
