For those competing this year if you'd like a good leadoff hitter then I might have one for you.


Bobby Abreu - his power numbers are down, but he'd be killer in the #1 hole.


.300 ave / .433 obp / .450 slg / 27 steals / 40 doubles


He'll have over 100 walks by the time the season is over and should top 30 steals.


Yes, he's expensive (A5 - 600k)...but I doubt you'll find a better lead off guy in the "C".


Unless he pulls a miracle he'll be coming off A next season even if he duplicates his current numbers which is very probable.  You can put him on C then or hell just call me and I'll trade back for him.


Let me know if this is the type of guy who might help further your cause for a serious playoff run.


BTW, I spent several days as a POW in a training environment and let me just tell how great "Freedom" really is.  I have a whole new respect for those POW's who spent 6, 7, 8, and even 9 years as prisoners of war.  It's easy to see why so many of them find faith in a higher power if they didn't have it going in.  Also why out of body experiences during torture do not seem so far fetched anymore.  Do you know where your happy place is?


Tight places, little sleep, crappy food, interrogations, fiesty guards, horrible propaganda, and of course all the varieties of physical and mental stimulus...It was great training, but something I never want to go through again...Thank God is wasn't real life...scary, very scary.


I can't even imagine the real thing...my only thoughts are to take your worst fears and multiply them by infinity, then haul them to the farthest depths of hell and you might be close.  


Guys like John McCain and Robinson Risner went through things that no human should ever be subjected to.
