Hasnt played the field since 2007, other than his inning at third base last year. Do you think he was that worried he wouldnt be getting other offers to be a dh instead of being a first baseman for a couple months and pinch hitter if he doesnt get traded back to the white sox at the deadline?

This makes sense for the Phillies. Last I heard its unknown on how long it will take Howard to return. So you get a power hitting 1b to hold the spot til Howard returns. Then come time to wheel and deal, you can trade Thome, or keep him as insurance/great bat off bench

I don't get what your point is IP? Lots of players have played for multiple teams. So what?

He spent 11 years in one place, 4 in another place, and he's been traded a couple times to teams who need a power bat off the bench.

Not sure if this is meant to be a slam at him or what, but it seems awfully pointless.

This, in fun.

I'll always remember him as an Indian. Man, they had a squad back then... Manny, Thome, Kenny Lofton, David Justice. What happened to Cleveland?

Albert Belle, Carlos Baerga, Alomar the catcher, Vizquel.

3 possible HOF'ers and one who was on pace in Belle.
