Up and down, in and out, through July. 
Not saying they don't want to win, but I don't think they're sweating a lot about the first-half record.
Carp vs. Saunders vs. M.Wilson vs. Peguero -- Ryan vs. L-Rod -- Lueke vs. Cortes vs. TW vs. Pauley vs. Laffey etc.
Note that Wedge said they were bringing in Gray "to see if he's a fit" -- almost like it was spring training.
The second-half team -- with Ackley, Guti, Kelley and whomever they like out of the various trial runs -- I think they will want to "gel" and make a run to set them up for next season.
In that regard, a few weeks plus-or-minus on Ackley don't matter much to me.  He'll be here when we have the 2012-and-going-forward roster in place.
I also expect that they will see if they can extract anything from another team for Ja.Wilson, and when Ackley will comes up will depend on that, too.  They may need to play "chicken" for awhile, since other teams won't give up value if they think he'll be released.
