A)  Hamilton is a beast.  Simple as that.

2)   In less than a year MLB has clearly traveled lightyears away from Barroids.

 F)  Someone please explain to me why Giambi was on a plane somewhere else and why A-Rod HAD to prepare to throw a party in NYC as opposed to participating in the Derby as hometown “favorites?!?”  <— I heard this comment on the radio this morning.  Is this actually true?  WTF, I thought Giambi was making a big stink to get into the derby….

3:28pm: Gordon Edes of the Boston Globe expects the Red Sox to engage in further conversations with the Braves about Teixeira leading up to the deadline.

8:29am: Several readers have written in regarding a rumor from ESPN’s Peter Gammons during last night’s broadcast.  Reportedly Gammons said the Braves offered Mark Teixeira to the Red Sox for Kevin Youkilis and Craig Hansen, but the Sox declined.

Given Youk’s superior numbers and team control through 2010, hanging on to him makes sense.  But it is interesting to see that the Braves might be shopping Teixeira already.
