Michael Taylor coming up

[Moonlight J]

per Susan Slusser...looks like Crisp to the DL?

[Grinch]

When I heard Crisp may be DL bound I wondered if it would be Taylor or Cowgill. As Crisp was not happy being moved off CF, one has to think that once he's healthy he's trade bait.

Taylor has been killing the ball so far this year. I read an interview with him on a Phillie's prospect board, I can't find it now, that said he had been trying to put more loft in his swing the last couple of years to make him more of a HR hitter. The results were lackluster. He's gone back to the swing he had success with before. He's big enough that he should still hit for some power, but he's more of a line-drive hitter. I think it will be a positive for his career and fantasy value though.

Isn't everyone on Oakland trade bait?

The early bird may get the worm, but the early worm gets the hook. Crisp may be the first worm hooked.

Is he a platoon split guy?
