I'm disappointed in the lack of swimsuit photos that don't make me want to vomit.
False advertising. :(

at first I was guessing Delmon Young...
until you put up those defensive numbers.
My life's goal: to force fischean itno using her moderator powers or, at the very least, using her witch magic to impoove my spelling.
Wouldn't Delmon have more plate appearances?

I was just going to make a post about Danny V. when I saw this
Do you guys think he might be in the running for RoY? I know his ABs are on the low end, but he leads the league in 3B batting average and has just been spectacular defensively. He’s been getting clutch hits when they’re needed and has really put together a solid half-season.
Brenden Bosche will get good consideration for his first half, even though he has cooled off.
I always loved that one.
If he keeps this up through September and carry's the team to the division win, perhaps

nope
Rookie of the half year, maybe. But he wasn’t even the best rookie on the field yesterday. Boesch has 14 home runs…and he wasn’t either. I really like Austin Jackson.
Of course it doesn’t hurt that the Yankees gave him away for a higher paid veteran that he’s already outplaying—gotta love that!
Great!
Now let’s add Player C:
2010 Plate appearances: 669
Triple slash: .292/.366/.494 wOBA .372
UZR -3.9 FRAA -3.9
WAR 3.9
Salary: $!0 Mil
Guess the player. Hint, he’s the franchise player for a major team.

Is that 0 million or 10?
I think it may just be an excited shift key/1 hit.
I always loved that one.
supposed to be 10

I was looking at the Zips U line, sorry

New Tripple slash for D. Wright

I've given up trying to consider all of this...
I can’t get my mind past ‘Cameron Diaz’ and ‘swimsuit’. My fault.

Figured Out Danny V Pretty Fast
Took me all the way until salaries to (obviously) happen upon A-Rod
