Around SBN: More Televised Winter Baseball, Please

Best Records in May

The best records in May thus far belong to 1.) Houston Astros 2.) Texas Rangers 3.) (tie) Tampa Bay Rays, Florida Marlins, Pittsburgh Pirates (all 8-4).

Please start gathering the animals in pairs and collecting wood.

Seriously, if this continues we are going to run into the "Well, we are only four games out, do we really want to trade (insert name) at this point?  The division isn't very strong we could really steal it" argument.  I have been a firm believer that if we get good starting pitching--not average, good--this team is capable of playing .500 baseball.  But regardless of the team's record, I think Bay and Marte have to be dealt.  I'm willing to think harder about Nady and Grabow.

I agree that good starting pitching would get us (and keep us) at .500, however we will need much more than that to compete. Having said that, Bay and Marte are on my short list of players to be gone by the trading deadline.

I’d keep Nady and Grabow. Next year we might want to unload LaRouche and move Nady to 1B, opening OF spots for both McCuthen and Pearce.
