Utley, Howard, Dobbs, Jenkins all are worse against lefties. Similarly, perhaps there is a desire to constantly switch Tex & Chipper to the right side. Just a thought, I agree that there are better use of our resource and more pressing needs on this team. Only reason I could think of to acquire another lefty is to beat solely the Phillies.

I think if we were to trade for a reliever, what we need is a power arm to bring in when we really need a strikeout, whether lefty or righty. Most of our bullpen, with the exception of Wagner and possibly Heilman, tends to pitch to contact. Street could be that guy, but Beane will ask for way too much.

I wasn't saying ignore them, but from a statistical prospective, his numbers are quite impressive without his bad nights. Still need to take them into consideration when viewing the player as a whole. In either case, the only thing I can see us needing in the bullpen is another releiver who can get both side of the plate out. Otherwise, its a matter of managing our bullpen correctly. Willie/Peterson were never able to do this. Judging by Manuel's choices this week, he isn't sure how to do it either. The point I was trying to make above is that our pen really isn't bad.

I know he was hurt, but since when is he done for the year? He's probably not the answer anyway, but then again, I'm not sure what the question is since what we really need is a corner OF.

Otherwise, you're right. It's a story to have a story. What we really need is outfield help and another bat off the bench. No reason for us to have 3 catchers and Marlon Anderson as a pinch hitter (.203 BA). If Church comes back, we still need an OF. It's fairly obvious now that F-Mart won't be coming to play at Citi next season. Injuries this year, his age, along with the fact that the logical next step in his progression is another year at AA give me that idea.
