I’m only half kidding.

I’m thinking they might be looking at left. I have a hard time imagining they will make a change at third because it looks as if they are committing to Galvis at second. I doubt they bump him for Polly. But it’s such a mess right now. I really don’t know how to fix it or even if it’s fixable.

And then there’s the relief corp.

And then there’s Hamels. Does he really want to lash himself to the mess? Would the $20+ million it would take to sign him be better spent rebuilding?

I’m really stymied.

I’m hoping they know the situation is dire and are out there looking for an answer. It’s been dire for a while now, though.

A step in the right direction. Now if they can just work on the scoring more runs than the other team thing I think they should be all set.

Not sure about scoring runs before getting a hit, but I would guess that it happens a lot. Coming into today’s game it looks like there were about 15-20 players across both leagues that had scored at least one run without having a hit for the season.

Speaking of, when’s the last time someone scored their first ML run before getting their first ML hit?
