Part 1 is complete coolguy.
I am not ready to give up yet. But thetime is very near. But when it is definitely over, your line of thinking is right on.
Your proposed lineup is very weak right there. But that is fine if we are done for the season. I am down with losing a lot of games for a better draft pick in 2008. Then of course you try Votto out for the rest of the season at 1B. The core of Votto, Hamilton, Phillips, and Encarnacion will be something nice to build on. With the hopes of seeing Bruce in '08 and the possibility of landing a btter bat in the catcher position, things don't seem so bad.
Not only that, our rotation/bullpen would be far better after getting something for Griffey/Dunn. I like it.
