If he makes it, he&#039;s great trade bait when Utley returns and Iguchi is another pinch-hitting hand and/or late inning defensive replacement.  Not a high price tag either.Iguchi, by his Aug. 2007 play, deserves to be signed for 2009.  And who knows, maybe then they can get him working on playing 3rd base.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guys, I propose the following;  Yes &#8212; Jason Donald gets first shot at 2nd base &#8217;til Utley returns, but  to have Iguchi available is  one great insurance policy should Donald falter at MLB level.

Soccer is so stupid why would any one who likes sport even mention it. Basketball player are the most condition athletes in the world. Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do, but there are guys who are in the sport who like stairs just do that .Basketball, try running up and down the court playing defense, shooting rebounding, in hockey if you fight you can play, remember schultz. Dumbest non sport in the world. the only reason people like it is it mostly white guys. I am white and hated it when I went three times I tried it stinks.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>clktwr14 that is the most stupid remarks ever posted on this site, Hockey isn&#8217;t even a sport.

He had that ACL injury in 2007, and yeah, he got through last year, but he played DH last year - who knows how his knees would hold up in the outfield?I&#039;d been saying that we need to sign a guy like Gabe Kapler.  He&#039;s perfect for platooning: according to Braves.scouts.com, &quot;Known as a superb defensive player, Kapler was used primarily as a platoon player in right field with Trot Nixon while playing for Boston, facing left-handed pitchers.&quot;  My reasoning was that Kapler doesn&#039;t have great power numbers - certainly not in Burrell&#039;s league - but he started 43 games and he hit .301 with eight home runs and 38 RBI, according to the Milwaulkee Journal-Sentinel.  I thought we certainly could platoon him with Jenkins, because as a starter, he hit .312 with 6 HR, 28 RBI, an OBP of .348 and slugged .532.  I mean, I figured combined with Jenkins it would be okay - in 2007 with Milwaulkee, Jenkins started 109 games and hit .250 with 18 HR, 57 RBI, an OBP of .310 and slugged .453.G     AB    H      BA     HR    RBI   BB    SO   OBP    SLG    OPS

**as a starter onlySo with the combined platoon of Jenkins and Kapler, we have an improved average, comparable on-base percentages and slugging percentages, and comparable RBI statistics.  The only huge statstical discrepancy we&#039;d see is a lot fewer walks (which is why Burrell had a little less than 40 fewer at-bats - walks don&#039;t go into the book as official at bats; they&#039;re counted under plate appearances instead).  But given that the platoon of Jenkins and Kapler would combine to strike out just about as many times as Burrell did last season, it isn&#039;t like we&#039;d be getting a lot of unproductive outs - you never know with a ground ball because someone is more likely to reach base on an error than will someone reach base when the catcher drop strike three.Burrell did have a good throwing arm, but Kapler has been known for &quot;a superb defensive player&quot; by that scouts.com website.I know this is a bit of a reach because Jenkins didn&#039;t have a great season in 2008, but he only started 17 games after the All-Star break.  He had a much, MUCH better average afterward (.237 to .273) - a rough first half may have been his adjusting to a change of scenery.What DOES concern me is his tearing his latissimus dorsi, which he did on a throw towards home, according to the Milwaulkee Sentinel-Journal, which is why he missed the last half of September.  That worries me a lot, because that&#039;s the muscle in the back which connects to one&#039;s scapula and rotator cuff and apparently it plays an integral role in throwing.The good news is that Chad Cordero had an acute tear last season and his rehab was expected to last 4-to-6 weeks, and what actually ended his season was his labrum.  Moreover, Cordero was trying to make it back for the season, so chances are that he rushed his rehab. Okay, I&#039;m still worried about that, but it&#039;s better than mortgaging our future for Jermaine Dye.  And besides, Kapler came back from a torn Achilles in June of 2006 after he tore it late September of 2005.   Hopefully if his throwing is affected, his range will still make up for it.  Hopefully.  But even if not, I think the hitting speaks for itself.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Milton Bradley is a bad idea.
