Yeah I don't believe it for a second. I think it was more an "if the season started today" type statement. I still expect them to get a corner OF.

I don't like Rios at all, Johnson is the definition of a 4th OF, Catalanotto and Hinske can both do great things. I say try to package Rios in a deal with someone (possibly Lilly) for Craig Wilson or someone similar. Let Cat platoon with Hinske until the deadline and trade whichever one produces the least (most likely Hinske). And you enter 2006 with:

LF Eric Hinske/Frank Catalanotto
CF Vernon Wells
RF Craig Wilson
DH Shea Hillenbrand
Bench: Reed Johnson

I like that okay
