<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">But at least you and I can agree on something. The Brats will win the Damon. A nicely played season started with taking advantage of the young guy (Brett Lawrie and a bucket of bolts nets Pujols, Morneau and Mauer) and then closed by taking advantage of the Professor while he was apparently under medication (Adrian Gonzalez for Jake Odorizzi (a Kansas City pitching prospect??)).</SPAN></div>

<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Great piece on Machado in today's Daily Dose--reminding us that he was only hitting .262 in AA ball and saying he's gotten lucky while facing some of the worst pitchers in the majors. I think his "sell by" date is rapidly approaching. But, Jeff, go ahead and activate him. He'll almost certainly get his 135 ABs in this year and blow through the first year of his contract anyway. Then he can be next year's Justin Smoak (who you pawned off on me for a perfectly good prospect, Bradley.)</SPAN></div>
