Bagwell & Abreu: Fellow 1Bs bonded by their MVPs of the only 2 short seasons in the last 30 years of MLB

Abreu's short season MVP reminds Bagwell of that glistening stat line in his own 1994 short season MVP, with that .368/.750/1.201 not challenged until the likes of Barry Elizabeth Bonds.

Dana Brown: don't be a DB, the baseball gods have once again shown you favor, and his name is Joey Loperfido. The worst that could happen is you call him up too late, and he rakes, and we miss the playoffs. It will be remembered as the worst managerial non-move of all time. Don't let Bagwell intimidate you.

1) Call him up now, turn the ship around, and you're executive of the year. 2) Wait too long and you're an assistant-something in Colorado next season with Abreu as your starting 1B. edit: Bagwell stat line
