Thome's back - possibly DL bound

[Laean]

does this mean utley will play full time while thome's out? in yahoo utley has 1b eligility, which means he's played there before, at least 5 games last year .... if they already got utley who's hitting .300+ and 3 hrs in limited appearances that can play 1b, i don't see why they would bring up a AAA player.

am i right? wrong? i took a gamble and replaced v diaz with utley in my final Uti spot a few minutes before midnight in my weekly update h2h league.

Maybe because the AAA player in question led the minors in homeruns last year?

Maybe because he was MVP in A ball in 2003 and MVP in AA ball in 2004?

Maybe because he's batting 316/423/570 in AAA?

Howard wil lgive them a hell of a lot more than playing Polanco everyday, and moving Utley to 1B.

utley playing in 1B today, lets see if it lasts.

a little update...nothing major ..

Manuel said he spoke with Thome on the phone and that his first baseman was feeling better. The plan is for Thome to begin swinging off a tee this weekend
