Maybe It's Time?

Just when I was thinking we'd be to full strength with A-Ram, Johnson, and Guzman back, Dempster goes down for 3-4 weeks! That is our strength I guess. I figured Marshall would take the spot and now they say Hart. Not too excited about that. Maybe we should have gotten Pedro? Just kidding! Maybe we pull the trigger to get Heath Bell and bring Marshall into the rotation until Dempster is back? I can't imagine that we're not close to making a real deal with these little deals that only make sense from a money stand point. We'll see. Anyway, I love this lineup now. Soto seems to have woken up, Bradley is hitting a little, but I'd still like to see Hoffpauir vs. righties. Ramirez back, Fox a stud, Lee, Fukudome batting leadoff. I like it. We have to get Soriano to wake up and find Fox and hoffpauir some at-bats. Obviously a huge series coming up vs. the Cards. Here's a look at the next few games and the match-ups although I'd prefer they have Hoffpauir in for Bradley and we need to get Fox some at-bats:
