Monday

Both the Trib and the PG are reporting that Chris Duffy will "play more" this time around (he's been called up to replace CWilson). It's hardly possible for him to play less than he did in April. I think my favorite part is where Dejan calls Duffy "possibly our center fielder of the future." I'm sure Duffy's really happy to hear that, now that he's joined the ranks of Jermaine Allensworth, Chad Hermanson, Adrian Brown, and Tike Redman. What an honor for the kid.

Also in the PG's notebook today, Ollie is going to get his toe re-evaluated today and might be throwing by week's end. Gonzalez began throwing Saturday and may be back by the end of the month.

Gene Collier also makes a plea to Mark Cuban to buy the team. I didn't get the impression from Saturday's article that there was a ton of interest from either Cuban to buy, or from the current ownership to sell, and I think people are making a big deal out of nothing here (but then again, if he's interested...).
