08:10 AM ET 07.15 | How happy will Ruben Amaro Jr. make his manager this trade deadline season? There is Michael Cuddyer in Minnesota. His .369 average and .470 on-base percentage against lefties would be an incredible addition. In case you have not noticed, however, the Twins are very much in the AL Central race even after a miserable start. There is Carlos Beltran of the New York Mets. ... There is Ryan Ludwick in San Diego. He's hitting .276 with three home runs against lefties this season but is only a .236 career hitter against lefthanders. Amaro, of course, is on the record as saying he'd rather add a bullpen arm than a righthanded bat. So maybe the general manager can acquire Ludwick and Padres closer Heath Bell.

You, too, can be a sports writer! - "The [insert team] are [wanting, desiring, craving, looking at, lusting after] a [insert position] [insert any living player] to [insert reason]". Just fill in the blanks and repeat ad nauseum.

I am a fan of Bell. I think he would be a welcome addition to our bullpen!

I heard that the Phillies are actually interested in Carlos Quentin on the ChiSox, actually I read it in the Tribune yesterday.

Doc looked great at the All-Star game.

If the Phillies need a right handed bat, they can take Alfonso Soriano off our hands. Please.

Pudres aren't trading anyone; they're dumping salary. Their tightwad mumbly mouthed carpetbagging conman of an 'owner' can't afford to eat at Jack In the Box, let alone run a major league club. That's why they are little more than a farm club. Nothing will change until they get someone in charge with real money, no payment plan. At least we have Comic-Con & the weather.

amaro jr will try to whatever it takes to get some offense and bullpen help, regardless if the phillies do or don't sign this type of players to a long term!!!

the curve,
the changeup,
the slider,
cliff lee gives away nothing!!!
