We continue to live in a baseball world where most offensive statistical achievements are brought into question. Countless number of products are being placed on the banned list. We point the finger at everyone, without any concrete evidence. Sometimes circumstantial evidence is simply overrated and misused. Or abused. Funny, cause we say athletes do things like...abuse performance enhancers. And it ultimately doesn't matter if they ever tested positive or not. My objective is to just simply paint ...

In the midseason award blogs, I picked Jose Bautista as my MVP based on the tremendous numbers he is posted. Toronto is staying around .500 and that might be better than predicted AND he does the damage without the significant talent posted around him. I factored in several things.

Once you go Kosuke, you don't give a Choo
Cleveland receives: Kosuke Fukudome
Chicago (N) receives: OF Abner Abreu and MR Carlton Smith
