I'm going to try a little experiment here. I wish my problem was writer's block - instead, there's just so many ideas that I've got running around in my head that I'm having a hard time prioritizing them. And with the All-Star Break coming up, there'll be time to catch up on some things.

So, if you'd like, you can help me figure out what I'll be writing about during the All-Star Break, with this handy widget here:

Isn't it exciting? Here's a link to my Skribit page, if for some reason the widget doesn't do it for you. I may start seeding it with some topics of my own, but for right now I’m simply interested in seeing what – if anything – y’all are interested in. I'd like, obviously, as much participation as possible; that said, asking things like "Why do you hate Christmas, Santa Clause and Ryan Theriot?" aren't likely to be answered immediately. In fact, non-Ryan Theriot suggestions are probably your best bet.

The Theriot suggestion wasn't meant to be sarcastic or Anything but rather just a simple numbers question

The short answer...

...and neglecting the question of offsetting his defense for just a moment, is "about as well as he's hitting right now." Ryan Theriot needs to be batting .300 or above in order to be a league-averageish hitter. I just don't think that's sustainable for him.
