 Here I am, sort of forcing myself to stay awake to blog, sort of going through the shitpile of backlogged emails...Some of it is also I am not quite tired and want to do things; I think it is the late trips to the gym (today I got there at 9), which give me a surge of energy la0e...  definitely need to go back to two-a-days, not only for the health and exercise but als the reading -- 4o pages a day or so is a good thing.

Maybe?  Maybe not?  I mean, the time to fight this battle seriously is when a GOP president is in charge, preferably a REAL Republican.

You know, this is exactly right. I guess I don't see any of the OFs besides Rosario hitting that much, in which case a spot will open for Naylor there, but I also don't see 1B as a real source of offense, which case you send Naylor back.  At least the rotation, so far, has been stress-free.

Long but interesting read...I, for one, hope he is correct!
