Otherwise, why even play next year?
I think that's the only immediate way to get to .450.

I got a huge kick out of C Perez this year. All his blather was simply a ploy to try to get himself traded. He could sit there and see who the pitchers were starting baseball games this year. Their best and most consistent starting pitcher was Zach McCalister and he really stunk. Bat was hideous this year and it looks like 2011 was actually the anomoly for him...sad. Of course as bad as Bat was, he was like Verlander compared to our favorite guy--OBALDO! Perez was doing everything he possibly could with every statement he made to try to get out of there. It was funny.
