Maddon's Jason Bartlett comment was worth a chuckle, but not much more. I always try to remind myself, Mark, that these managers, GMs and players have no obligation to tell us the truth.

That being said, I'd like to see him or Chone Figgins traded for pitching, with Brandon Wood taking over one of their spots.

Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon was asked in August who his MVP was. "Either JP Howell or Jason Bartlett," he said. And Maddon's as much of a stat guy anyway, except he uses the numbers intelligently. Then he hesitated and said, "Wait! I've got to make sure I run this past Baseball Prospectus." Just kidding. Exactly.
