I just wanted to let you know that some parts of your site are difficult to read for me, as I'm color blind. I am afflicted by deuteranopia, however there are more varieties of color blindness which will also get issues. I can understand the largest part of the website Okay, and the areas I have problems with I am able to read by using a special browser. All the same, it'd be cool if you would remember us color-blind folk when doing the next site revamp. Thank you. Hi.

Guess who is? Felipe Lopez. Come to think of it, Heyman did list some Boras boys way higher than they should be (I-Rod #8 for example). God I hate Heyman. How has this guy not been outted by better writers yet? Of course, why didn’t I think of that?

I love the value he brings to the Brewers as a platoon/defense replacement/rest day substitution and I think that value is maximized when used in those situations.

Didn't really mortgage the future, though, so I guess it's fine. Guess the two low end prospects is worth the extra 10-15 pts of OBP and 15-25 pts of SLG in this case.

Their lineup has been plagued by a lack of a decent (or even semi-decent) leadoff hitter; Lopez adds a steady bat and some speed to that spot. I'm not a big fan of Doug Melvin, but this was a nice little boost to what's been a problematic lineup. Actually, there’s more value in the deal than just a starter-caliber 2B for the Brewers.
