A guy that makes $136 million dollars is not even our best player.
Good signing Jim

You don't get rid of D. Lee. You just don't. That would be plain stupid.

If we had saved $36 million and signed Carlos Lee, the division wouldn't be close.

Yeah I am not saying Soriano is a bad player I am just saying we wasted a lot of money on him.
If you save money like the Brewers you could pay off the umpires like tonight.

Here's what I think will happen.
Whoever is up (I think Floyd) will hit a ground ball to 3rd. The Reds shortstop will catch the ball nowhere near 2nd base (The umpire still calls Aramis out) and they throw to 1st for the double play.

Oh wait that has already happened.
We need to get more creative.

I actually deleted my post because I didn't realize how bad he'd played recently...used to be a lot better.

Of course, he's a true middle of the order guy like we need, not some middle of the order guy who demands to leadoff.
