to be fair I posted on TD before SECr, just happen to be an Auburn guy

Not the best place to get a 1st impression of LSU fan.

I don't think it's worth going outside to find a lead off guy at the price it'd cost at this point. If you can go 6-4 or better on average over 10 game spans with mediocre lead off hitting then just let it be until the deadline and market becomes more clear.

Ohhh, I'm not saying to do it now. I'm saying come June or so and BJ is still being BJ, it'd be worth exploring Ichiro, Aoki if the Royals suck, etc. You know, guys who are FA next year that we wouldn't be obligated to. I really like Aoki. If the Royals are out of contention (not likely) I'm pretty sure they'd give him up for not very much more than Cody martin, which I'd be completely okay with. But since I think the Royals will contend, I think Ichiro is our best shot if we go that route.

A dream would be Charlie blackmon, but I'm not so sure the Rox would give him up.
