blaseta (Calgary): Is Roy Halladay baseball's best pitcher? It's not like he hasn't been doing it for a long period of time, and I figure he's got to be given some extra credit for the division he pitches in as well as his ability to pitch more innings than any one else.
Joe Sheehan: I still have Johan Santana atop my list, and I think you can argue that Halladay is the best of the next group down, which would include Brandon Webb, CC Sabathia and Tim Lincecum. Santana is a bit like Albert Pujols now, where he's so good people look for other guys to talk about.

Phil S. (NJ): There's a nice crop of rookie outfielders right now, including Fowler, C. Gonzalez, Reimold, Rasmus, and Snider/Schafer(before their demotions). Do you like any of this group much more than the rest?
Joe Sheehan: Rasmus, then Snider, then Fowler, stand out from the group. They're all different types of players, but among them, you've got 16, 17 ASG appearances coming.

Scott (Detroit): Walt Jocketty is supposedly looking for a third baseman. Umm, who in the world could he be looking into? 3B doesn't seem like a position with a lot of people available. Atkins, maybe?
Joe Sheehan: This keeps coming up on Bernie Miklasz' show, where I've spent more time dissecting Garret Atkins than is healthy. Adrian Beltre is in the last year of his deal, and I'd rather go get him, especially with that contact/groundball staff in St. Louis.

buffum (Austin TX): Where is Mark DeRosa playing the first week of August? I have seen his name attached to the Cubs, Cards, Mets, and Giants, and have tried to coax more clubs to be interested as well. He fits any number of places, but who is likely to offer Cleveland something of real value?
Joe Sheehan: For a utility guy past his prime with three months left on his contract who was traded for not much in the offseason? I'm not seeing it. If they trade him, they'll be taking back a C prospect; it's just up to them to identify the right one.
