He's just not worth it. If given the opportunity, every player will make a "spectacular play".

He hits a ton, that's right, but he's not very good defensively. He's been improving throughout the years but ain't a star with a glove. I do think in the NL, where pitchers hit and therefoe bunt a lot, it's very important to have an above reliable in every position of the infield. He's also in a sort of slump right now.<br /><br />Besides, he might want to stay in Cleveland unless the cheap ownership dump him due to his salary.karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809119587515057105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-25990956225379934482009-07-30T16:23:40.680-07:002009-07-30T16:23:40.680-07:00I can't hear big toe without thinking of this ...I can't hear big toe without thinking of <a href="http://www.filmdope.com/Gallery/ActorsO/13136-18510.gif" rel="nofollow">this guy</a>.Josh S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06838578298386299922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-24318026045490043322009-07-30T15:51:57.772-07:002009-07-30T15:51:57.772-07:00Agree...there is prolly more to the big toe situat...Agree...there is prolly more to the big toe situation that we know.Kyle Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074411479856389109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-76028376726189702552009-07-30T15:48:03.956-07:002009-07-30T15:48:03.956-07:00Sherrill's closer experience will come in hand...Sherrill's closer experience will come in handy if Brox's toe becomes a more serious issue.Josh S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06838578298386299922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-49031153421960307902009-07-30T15:42:59.583-07:002009-07-30T15:42:59.583-07:00Just trying to think like Ned.Just trying to think like Ned.Dusto_Magnificohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802504342465570442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-41354465081821489372009-07-30T15:41:51.335-07:002009-07-30T15:41:51.335-07:00Sherrill was brought in to set up for Broxton, not...Sherrill was brought in to set up for Broxton, not replace him.

Exactly.<br /><br />Rumors, at this hour, say Toronto will keep Halladay. Other sources state that is a two team competition between the Dodgers and the Red Sox, with an edge for the Red Sox.karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809119587515057105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-43774529400723038242009-07-30T14:52:13.042-07:002009-07-30T14:52:13.042-07:00Can we just call him Stampy?

Soon we'll be paying arbitration money to Kemp, Ethier, Chad, Clayton, Broxton, etc. So it'd be good to have cheaper alternatives here and there.<br /><br />I'm not saying a Halladay trade is for sure a bad thing, but if we do get him, I hope we don't give up too much, and I hope we can re-sign him.MR.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179563442472628174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-320190029673380462009-07-30T14:05:24.726-07:002009-07-30T14:05:24.726-07:00Bend, but do not break.Bend, but do not break.Wesley Ventohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525248216767335375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-57156399678227605652009-07-30T14:03:14.728-07:002009-07-30T14:03:14.728-07:00The Lakers, always stealing the Dodgers' thund...The Lakers, always stealing the Dodgers' thunder!Orelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01136247489970851448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-33918595636388202672009-07-30T14:03:06.210-07:002009-07-30T14:03:06.210-07:00"Just heard Lamar Odom is coming back to the ..."Just heard Lamar Odom is coming back to the Lakers."<br /><br />Oh good.
