Markakis is going to have a big year so nothing new from here.

We should do well on Traschel but he won the Mets ALOT of games and pitched well for them at times. Who knows.

ARod sucks. He only hit a 2 run HR.

i like a-rod and i think he's a good player in all but he still hasn't hit in a clutch situation yet...i mean last night in the botttom of the 8th he screwed up again...i hope his hitting carries over into clutch situations

The thing with AROD is that I would trade him for the right deal but at the moment we have the best 3B in the AL statistically. So we can really only go down from there. Cabrera might be a better 3B but do we have a shot at getting him? I doubt it. So for now I wouldn't deal AROD unless we get some seriously good pieces back. -Jitpal

Igawa and his stuff look awfully hittable.

Not good

Igawa is looking really shakey right now. Really shakey. -Jitpal
