Headline Topic: Phillies' Trade
Rangers' Michael Young is expected to approve his trade to the Phillies today.
This deal is for a "big-name" player who is fading, like many of the teams' other core members. However, Young should be a decent offensive player who might hit behind Ryan Howard in the fifth spot if some other right-handed power bat isn't added by the start of the season.
Young isn't a great defender, but can play a variety of positions on the field. So, some runs will be lost when he starts at 3B.
Michael Schwimmer, or Josh Lindblom, along with a minor league prospect have been mentioned as heading to Texas in the deal.

Headline Topic: Eagles - Cowboys Game
Another defeat, to the Dallas Cowboys no less, continues this season's misery. The season can't possibly end soon enough.
A fresh start for this entire organization grows closer by the week. I don't know where many major changes will lead to, but they are coming.
Andy Reid has been a very good coach. We can not say that he's been a great coach, because he didn't get that Super Bowl win. For me that is the dividing line between good and great. Responses to the contrary only come through use of emotional logic.
