To keep nine guys on the field, Travis Hafner will sit in a lawn chair halfway down the 1st base line, to prevent any would be triples from making it into the corner.

Maybe they will catch lightning in a bottle with somebody but I thought going into this past offseason they could easily contend in the Central with one or two big roster moves instead we get Derek Lowe and Christian Guzman.
