anvil, i think some of what you just said is correct grandy trade was a 3 way deal with arizona and austin jackson became a tiger as well as phil coke i believe ian kennedy went to the diamondbacks-- someone here on ihub can fill in the rest?? btw tex had a ton of homers and RBI's this year and don't forget golden glove play at first base so his slightly lower batting average is not a hugh concern given the other tangables i dont think a rod or tex will get it going tonight--boo looks like they both have lead boots on at the plate although a rod walked 2x's last night i agree AJ can pitch a gem tonight but he could also give up 7 runs in 2 innings
