Is it time to give up on Edinson already? his first start was nice, but he ain't lookin hot his last 2 starts. I got Vicente Padilla and Randy Wells available on the FA wire. What do you do? I had drafted Wells and had him thru some of his worst times before dropping him, so I'm kinda leaning toward Vicente. Which of these 3 you like the rest of the year? Grey,

Johnson would replace the likes of Wandy and CJ Wilson. I have closers to spare, but don't like parting with Young. That would leave me with Gaby Sanchez and Panda at 3B and CI, with LaPorta being the most promising name on the wire. Thoughts? Thanks. Just got offered Josh Johnson for my Bell and Michael Young.

First he was silent while Mudcat talked about Rihanna, which I can respect. Then he got excited because he recognized a song that Mudcat mentioned: "Blinded by the Light." A song that was recorded nearly 40 years ago. He even sang the chorus for a moment. Watching the Padres broadcast. Dick Enberg is old.
