Just the other day, we had Dave Dombrowski on the air with us during our telecast against the Blue Jays.  One of the first things I asked him was about his team's health.  "Knock on wood Dave, your team is pretty healthy aside from the bullpen issues," I said.  Nice.  Way to jinx the team. 

I'll admit, Curtis Granderson's hand injury is my fault.  You never talk about injuries this close to the end of camp.  Fortunately it doesn't appear that the injury will keep Curtis out of the line-up for more that a couple of weeks.  That's great news considering all indications pointed toward Granderson having another All-Star type year.  I think we all noticed last year that when Granderson sat against tough lefties, the offense just didn't look the same.  He is a vital part of the line-up. 

Enter Brandon Inge.  Inge started in center field today and made a nice diving grab.  Could he see some time in CF while Granderson heals?  Maybe.  That's why I think it would be great to see Inge stay.  Every team has an injury or two throughout the season.  Inge can play a lot of positons and that is very valuable.

I need to put my jinxing skills to better use.  I think I'll go tell Mark Shapiro that Fausto Carmona looked really strong today and is on his way to a Cy Young Award.
