How about get rid of the culture of losing, by bringing up winners and shipping the turds off...

Loss of Kepp will cripple this already weak hitting team. No one else in the organization that can play SS can hit worth a damn. Now with the OF and SS replacement you have 4 auto outs in the lineup every night plus the pitcher.
This is honestly starting to remind me of the early 80's.

I'd be fine with that. Although, I don't think it is so much having "turds" on the team, as it is a lack of vocal leadership. As long as Griffey and Dunn are defacto team "leaders" or at least leaders of the offense, I think the problem will persist. It's not really their presence that is the problem as much as it is the absence of the type of player who could replace them. Although, trading Casey was the right move because his bat didn't justify his contract, they have missed him greatly as a leader. He was the type of guy who could co-exist with Griff and Dunn and provide leadership without stepping on toes. It isn't by chance that nobody has worn the "c" patch since Larkin retired. I think if Griff and Dunn were to leave, others would be more comfortable stepping into that role.

sorry I didn't see the request for a light hearted and cheerful post.
Not that I'm capable but I would have at least tried.
