Morgan Ensberg DFA'd

A guy who had EQAs of .310 and .291 the last 2 years is available for the taking? Jon Daniels, if you don't do this, I will lose all respect for you and punch you.

I'm serious, we need to go pick him up and how. I don't care how mediocre his season so far has been, he's been completely mistreated by the Astros because they can't seem to recognize that batting average has little to do with how good you are offensively.

Ensberg is awful
The Astros offense is awful and he wasn't good enough to play there, and you want us to pick him up. Are we supposed to bench Blalock when he gets back in favor of Ensberg?

You do realize
His shoulder is basically fried, right?

The consensus theory
is that he's lost a lot of bat speed and can't handle good pitches.  Last year he stopped swinging, so his walk rate spiked, but NL pitchers have figured out that he can't handle a good fastball.

Basically he's turned into Wilkerson without the power.

Ugh
I just threw up a little.

off the Wilkerson bandwagon...
Wilkerson's strike out habit shows he needs to be in rehab somewhere, because Rudy can't seem to keep  him off the wiffy-juice.  His fielding abilities (or lack thereof with slow feet) have cost us dearly in KC...  Talk about throwing up.

I know this sounds like frustration from a disgruntled fan, but his play looks uninspired--anyone want to take him in trade?

Wilkerson
has zero trade value.  If you released him, I'm not even sure he'd be claimed.

An idea
How about the Rangers trade Wilkerson for Ensberg? :)
