Not a great year by Cabrera, that’s for sure, but when he returns to form,Tigers fans will be happy they have him.The real question is where would the Marlins be if they hadn’t traded Cabrera? With Cameron Maybin in the minors and Andrew Miller not exactly pitching lights out, it would be something special to watch Hanley and Cabrera play together for one more season.After his recent hip flexor, maybe a Hawpe-like trip to the DL would be the best thing for him.Clay BuchholzJust call him up!!!! Geeze! I hate the Red Sox, but this guy is tearing it up in the minors and is completely healthy.And I know that Bartolo Colon is still going to get a chance before Buchholz does. He just looks like a guy that can mash.He’s gone 4-for-8 in his two starts since returning (0-for-1 as a pinch hitter) and I get the feeling that with Kansas City seeing improved play from Jose Guillen, Mike Aviles, David Dejesus and Alex Gordon, Butler will get plenty of RBI opportunities and be a major contributor in the 2nd half. Miguel CabreraI just traded away Cabrera in my keeper league but not because I don’t think he’s going to bounce back Only because I got Matt Holliday in return. (Hey na, hey na, Butler’s back.)I don’t really know where that came from, but I do know where Butler came from The “fix your mechanics” world of AAA. And it seemed he did.I just think its refreshing to finally see a DH that looks like a DH. I don’t care if you play him at first, third, or DH.  Can I just see this guy play for an extended period of time? I like what I’ve seen so far.Hanley RamirezI don’t know what’s stranger. The fact that a skinny kid like Hanley Ramirez is tied for the league lead in homers the past month with 11 or that he’s tied with Marcus Thames and JD Drew.Either way, I’ve got my eye on this kid.He was the best player on the planet for the first few weeks of the season, then he got his big paycheck and it looked like we crowned him as player of the decade too early.

In his last 80 at bats Hawpe has hit .300, with eight home runs, 18 RBI, 53 total bases and is reaching base nearly 40 percent of the time.The best part about it? Hawpe has been moved to the clean-up spot. (See: Preston Wilson, Clint Barmes, Troy Tulowitzki)Luckily, Hawpe seemed to find the cure for what ailed him after a trip to the DL. Whether they’re a perennial fantasy all-star or fodder for the waiver wire, these are nine guys who I simply feel like talking about and why I’ll be keeping an eye on their stats. In no particular order: Brad HawpeHe seemed to assert himself as another solid Rockies hitter last season with a 29-homer, 116 RBI effort.But after a few weeks into the season it seemed like he could fall into a different, less-desired category: The one-hit wonder Rockies.

But one thing can be said: for all the griping that the Bay Area fans have given, they’ve been behind the Warriors through a lot of down times.They deserve more Will they ever get it?(See Part II for more).. However, their starting five in the coming year are all returning players (unless a splashy free-agent is signed).Harrington is the wild-card, who can pretty much play back-up for any position, from three to five. Or, the Warriors could have Jackson move over to SG and re-insert Harrington into the starting line-up.By no means is this a scary team to the rest of the imposing forces of the NBA.It is, however, one with a growing, young “potential” (the danger word) core.Once again.Very small consolation to the Bay Area fans.

According to news media, the Warriors were pushing for only two guaranteed years in Baron’s contract.No wonder he intends to sign for the greater safety net of five-years with the LA Clippers.One thing is certain: NBA fans will enjoy watching the Clippers more than ever now, with a line-up that includes solid players: Kaman, Brand, Thornton, Gordon (or Mobley) and Davis.But, the Clippers just added another injury-plagued player, and one they might regret having two-plus years down the road. Is it all “for nothing?”The Warriors Management crew, though stunned, appeared ready to walk the path without Baron in the long-term. Of the approximate 4,500,000 tonnes of cheese consumed across the 68markets, less than 2% were key accounts own labels. In particular, these markets represent great potential formanufacture brand development as private label products have not penetrated tothe extent found in Western Europe or North America even though key accountssuch as Carrefour and Tesco have established themselves in many of thesemarkets. Despite the reversal in 2008, these 68 markets still represent potential formarket development. White and mature cheese varieties struggled, withvolumes down 0.7% and 0.5% on 2007 levels. Key regions for processed cheeseconsumption remained the Middle East and North Africa, where overall processedcheese volumes were up 2.8%.

Eastern Europe was hit particularly hard, with consumption andspending dropping in Ukraine and Serbia following the economies needingassistance from the IMF. Processed cheese volume sales across the 68 markets increased 1.4%, with spreadsleading the way accounting for 70% of processed volume sales and driving thecategory as slices sales remained static. By the end of 2008, overall volume consumption across these markets was down0.5%; however, currency fluctuations and a tightening up of consumer spendingacross these markets led to an 8.5% and 2.5% decrease in euro and $ termsrespectively.

West VirginiaWest Virginia will be best if it takes Rich Rodriguez’ departure personally, as they did in the Fiesta Bowl.  There’s no Owen Schmitt on offense, which will probably be a bigger deal than no Steve Slaton.I honestly think Noel Devine will do an equal if not better job than Slaton did at tailback, although the depth is no longer there.  I expect the offense to run with about the same efficiency as last year?after all, Pat White is still Pat White.The defense could be an issue as several players were lost to graduation, the draft, and dismissal from the team.Luckily for the Mountaineers, the two toughest tests?USF and Auburn?are both at home.  All the road games are manageable, but I’ve got a feeling this is not quite the team that beat Oklahoma..
