Links of the Day:
- Dan Johnson was designated for assignment by the Oakland A's. The Giants pouncing on Johnson seems like a given, but it is the Giants so there is a possibility they'd rather give Andres Galarraga another shot instead. In all seriousness though, Johnson would be an upgrade over Rich Aurilia and most of the lineup; Johnson's 108 OPS+ last season tops every then and now Giant minus Aaron Rowand and of course Barry Bonds.
- Remove Trevor Hoffman from the closer's spot? We should be at the point where after a week and a half of the season a struggling player is just that, struggling, not done or busted. Last year it was Mariano Rivera after a month, this year Hoffman, next year maybe Joe Nathan. Stuff like this happens.
- The Mets aren't fans of democracy.

Hoffman
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I feel unease everytime Hoffman comes in, especially since now he struggles over stretches instead of one game at a time. That's not a feeling that is new to this year.
Heath Bell is the best reliever on that team now, and he's capable of pitching multiple innings. That's a closer I can get behind, especially with the SD FO.

Bell is great
However, isn't it an asset to have him in higher pressure spots than simply the 9th?

Apparently..
Giants are not interested in Dan Johnson. Yep..great front office there. I'd rather give Andreas another shot instead of Aurilia anyways...
