['Hamas' Jenkins]

• You don't use Garcia as a playoff pitcher, you use him as a bitch to eat innings. He'll piss down his leg in October for sure, but he can't piss down his leg if he's not pitching then.
• Wong, Carpenter, Jay, Adams, Beltran, and Taveras are all either LHH or switch hitters w/ better numbers hitting as a lefty. Who is our RH power? Holliday, Craig, and...?? Molina's 22 HR year was an aberration, and you can't expect Freese to be 20+ anymore either. This team needs a RH bat that can punish LHP. Beltran was actually the sixth best hitter on the team vs. LHP. Molina hits LHP very well. Holliday ended up hitting it better in the second half, but his power against LHP was disappointing
• People used to think Carlos Beltran didn't try because it looked like he was loafing. I don't know how to read your interpretation of Tulowitzki's behavior because I didn't see it. Even if it was bad, maybe he just had a bad week.
• I see the team as having a few options: 1) Trading for Tulowitzki. He'll cost a lot in prospects and command a high salary, but he's the best player 2) Trade Kelly and something else for Aybar. He'll improve the SS position, but he's not going to be the bat we need 3) Trade for Profar. He has the highest upside, but he played like ass last year and will cost a lot in terms of prospects. 4) Trade for Jed Lowrie, J.J. Hardy. They'll cost a fair amount in prospects, have likely also peaked, and will be rentals. There just aren't any Kent Bottenfield deals to be had anymore.
