They're not a C-grade, but just America League.

How many teams are going to stay around?

I think the Blue Jays make it.

I don't give any chance for Baltimore or Boston to turn this thing around.

I really don't.

Outside Cleveland, the AL Central...

I don't see anybody either.

I mean, I don't see the White Sox, you know, keeping this up either.

Yes, but remember Doug Melvin did when he was with the Brewers.

He might trade for T.C.

Sabathia.

That's right.

And like you said, Jeff, got the extra four or five starts out of him.

So, yeah, I could see the same thing with Scooble here as well.

You know, they got his side, too.

They're going to wait as long as possible.

I would think they went to the All-Star break and close to it and said, okay, is there any chance of us turning this thing around and at least getting in as a wildcard team?

But Scooble's the guy, you know, when you talk to executives, you know, they always come up with the four teams that will probably be the finalists for him.

And that's, you know, the Blue Jays, you know, the Yankees, Padres, and Dodgers.

Well, I don't blame him.
