Mr. Wilson come on down! Mr. Langerhans thanks for stopping by. Hey if Wilson stuck it out to age 28 then he deserves a cup of coffee in The Show. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he just rakes? Got to like that story. Okay so what do we know? Mr. Wilson come on down! Mr. Langerhans thanks for stopping by. Hey if Wilson stuck it out to age 28 then he deserves a cup of coffee in The Show.

Griffey had obvious issues with health and obvious decreases in bat speed. Bradley still has average bat speed. If we start seeing it decrease on either side of the plate then it becomes an issue. Langerhans is better as an all around player than Wilson. He's a traditional above-average defensive center fielder. While Saunders has been good statistically so far this season, Langerhans has just had a few hiccups in the field. He's on par in my book with Saunders and I think a better hitter than Saunders. Bradley is worth keeping over Wilson until August in hopes that he turns it around and someone gets desperate. I've had a few discussions on twitter and someone brought up the whole point that this would be the perfect time for Halman had he not been hurt. I quiet agree.

Hopefully Figgins gets back on track sooner rather than later this season and when Guti gets back he can contribute at the plate. Compared to Cust, Bradley, Saunders and Langerhans some of our farm hands such as Wilson, Peguero or Liddi might be options if they continue at their present levels much longer. Luis Rodriguez and Adam Kennedy might be better choices as well. There are some serious questions about all the players mentioned and few obvious sure-fire answers to them.
