Best Acquisition(s) In The Majors This Year? The Mutant Two-Headed Monster "Reedmonds" Of Course

There have been a lot of big acquisitions this year that have had huge impacts on their respective teams. According to the Sun-Times, however, only one has risen above all the rest:

"While national pundits examine and rank the CC Sabathia, Manny Ramirez and AdamDunn trades, the most important acquisitions of the year for any contender are getting ignored. But take a look at the impact the Cubs' first-year center fielder is having for the team with the best record in the National League, then try to come up with another newcomer who has made as much of a difference.
That center fielder, of course, is the Reedmonds platoon of Reed
Johnson and Jim Edmonds."

This mutant Reedmonds has taken the league by storm. I'm not sure what sort of crazy genetic experiment produced this creature, but whatever it is it can definitely hit and play a mean center field. I think thats a little Edmonds growing in Reed's chin....Oh no wait, that's a troll. Whatever, Reedmonds rocks.

• What the hell is a scatback? Apparently Garret Wolfe is.
• A St. Louis paper talks about how Jim Edmonds was made for Chicago.
• Cubs get hammered. What happened to Z? Though it was still fun to watch him mash the ball at the plate.
• Kobe says he would take 50 million to play a year in Europe. Awesome, so would I, and Lebron, and D-Wade, but I haven't actually heard anyone offer these players that much money, so why is this still a story?
• Kevin Jones is cleared to play, let the RB position battle begin. Forte v. Jones Round 1.
• Sox lose, but the story is losing Contreras for the year. Yikes.

• Bears beg Fred Miller to come back. You think he'll bring his gun?
• Cubs win again. When is it ok to start liking Jim Edmonds? I'm still uncomfortable with it but he made his case today. Oh and doesn't if feel like Blanco has come through in all 4 clutch situations he's gotten playing time?
• Come on Kerry Wood, your back hurts now? It's a never-ending saga with this guy.
  
• Gordon says its not likely he's coming back. Sure seems like it, but isn't he stuck here if no one else makes him an offer? I wonder if he knows that.
• Sox win. Twins win too. Whatever, is there anyone who really thinks the person who wins the Central will get anywhere in the playoffs against the Angels or even the surprise Rays?
