For the sixth year in a row, I am once again asking for hardcore baseball fans to participate in the annual Scouting Report project, in which you evaluate the fielding characteristics of players on your team. If you have a few minutes, please drop by and evaluate your team:

OK here is my goat-eating effort to stop Vlad from grounding into double plays.

Troy Percival went to the 15-day DL after his knee injury.

Wonder what this will do to the Rays' postseason chances, since they're already missing Crawford and Longoria.

As you can see in the Game Notes, Maicer Izturis was placed on the 15-day DL today, and 1B Kendry Morales was recalled from AAA Salt Lake.

I doubt Morales gets any playing time, but he's nice to have on the bench. Maybe we'll see some S-Rod while Izturis is out...

GA is hitting .376 with a .602 SLG since the break. He now has an 18 game hit streak. Plasma after Blue Smoke is a good 1-2
