Lofton is likely to find a job; he's healthy and played reasonably well last year. The Cubs still might be a fit. Seems that Garcia probably won't reach a big league mound until September; auditioning for teams...

Jeff Cirillo, everybody's favorite lefty killer, is still on the market. While I don't really want him playing every day, he would be an absolutely perfect match with someone the Mr. Hadricourt mentioned yesterday...Hank Blaylock. Blaylock is being actively shopped by the Rangers. A starting pitcher, a pitching prospect (Capuano + Villanueva/Parra) and Blaylock can probably be a Brewer. His contract...

Sean McAdam writes today about some bench players on Boston's radar. He names Russell Branyan, Ryan Klesko, Corey Koskie, Jeff Cirillo, and Olmedo Saenz as possibilities. Branyan may be toward the bottom of the list. He had an odd .196/.320/.423 line this year with 10 HR in 163 ABs. Klesko seems the best hitter of the bunch with a .744 OPS this year. Koskie missed the '07 season with post-concussion...

Second base, graveyard of empires. OK, it's not exactly Babe Ruth being thrown out to end the 1926 Series, but still. I knew bunting was more or less a lost art, Jeff Cirillo aside. Who knew that timing your slide so that you stopped, you know, on the bag, would be that difficult. I mean, it's not like he's been doing this on a 90 ft. diamond since 6th grade or anything. As for that other play, the...
