By Bryan Reynolds -
You all have your Walking shoes ready? It's a good one today. Pierre-Marc Bouchard's return has columnists from both papers there last night, in addition to back-up beat writer night at the X. You'll see in a moment that one paper's back-up has as much trouble covering the team as the rest of the paper, but I digress. It's not like people pay to read it, right?
Oh. Wait.
We'll jump right into it, but don't forget to fly over to Facebook and answer the Question of the Day. Good fun being had by all. Don't be the only one not involved or we'll force you read a bad newspaper. Trust me. We know where to get one.

Your Wildly Stupid Speculation Moment of the Day
What constitutes a "major trade?" Are minor trades not possible with scouts present? Who is the buyer here? Players involved? Does Walters understand "major trades" don't happen very often in a salary capped league, especially early in the year?
It's dangerous to just throw something like that out into the world, Charley. Next time, save your wisdom, will ya?
