So who's going to be The Last Expo?

We have Livan, Endy, Carroll, Schneider, and Rivera sill playing, right?

Also still active in the minors are Brendan Harris and Val Pascucci; also Claudio Vargas and Henry Mateo are playing in Mexico. And now Vlad.

I'll take Pavano (totally forgot about him) out of that list.
   5. jack47 Posted: May 11, 2012 at 12:28 AM (#4128964)
Wow, thanks Dan. I am going to have to look into splurging for that PI thing.
   6. God Posted: May 11, 2012 at 06:33 AM (#4129007)
It's pretty obviously gonna be Ted Lilly. He's by far the best player on that list currently, for one thing. More importantly, he's a left handed pitcher. He'll still be pitching when Bryce Harper is inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Interesting. I suppose this either means they're not happy with Ben Francisco as the lefty-masher off the bench (which seems odd, he's done alright for them in the three times they've used him this year and can at least play the OF as well) or Adam Lind is out at 1B in favour of Encarnacion?

#2 forgot to put Nick Johnson "playing" in scare quotes.
