I really hope we decide to go in another direction. Towards the end of the season, I was happy when I saw Ramon Castro in the lineup. That has to mean something. Yeah, me too.

Minaya isn't going to spen $200 Million at least to get a player at a position that is already filled. Not to mention that A-Rod hates NY. The Dodgers have the money and the need to sign a big bat and a 3B. They're going to get a-rod. As for Lo Duca, great. Posada is going back to the Yankees, and there are no other good catchers available via trade or free agency. Omar, if you so happen to be reading this comment on this blog, trade Milledge for Blanton, sign Fukudome, Castillo, Castro, Lo Duca and Romero, and get rid of Mota and Show.
