Mainly the latter. Ordinarily, Yoshi Yamada, Vic Flores, and Clyde Brady should all been ahead of Brownie, but Vic Flores is something like 0/4, Clyde can't even get a good jump, and Yamada was last seen scrubbing toilets at the airport in St. Pete to earn money for a bus back to the west coast. The rest of the team are just awful runners.

If he can avoid getting his starts wiped out from now on, he might cobble together a semi-decent season.

Also, C Craig Bowen looks to be asking for more PT......he is tied for 2nd on the team in HR's and has a nifty OBP and Wood looks like the worst hitter who has a job in baseball with an OPS threatening to go under .500........defense is all well and good, but a little hitting must be accomplished....

Last week, I had a trade on the table for L.A.'s Jens Carroll in exchange for the Obese Feline. I eventually balked. Carroll was the single (and almost solo) best player available for the Colossus of Rhodes, but he's a third baseman, and his skill set matches Daniel Sharp's remarkably. With Sharp, although he has never sucked for as long at one time, I still believe it's temporary rather than terminal. Although you could always move Sharp to first and sent Quebell back to Quebec.
Bowen's career numbers are even worse than Wood's. Defensively, they don't give another much. Bowen has a lead in the moustache factor, though.
