Vet @ 1B?

Update: Ken Rosenthal is speculating this just. It's good to be a step ahead of the experts...

If JS wants a vet at 1B then he may want to look past Shea Hillenbrand's bad attitude. The Angels really didn't have a place for him this year and his numbers have tailed off. He's still fairly young (Almost 32) and will be making league minimum the rest of the year. The only caviot beyond his... interesting personality is that he wants to play every day.

Personally I think Hillenbrand is just an older clone of Thorman. His numbers are down, due to playing in the AL West most likely, but he also hasn't played much. It's a low risk pickup and it gives us the option of sending Salty down for some work on playing first for next year.
