    Do what I do. Just pretend he's Carlos Gomez and imagine how much butt he's going to kick in the future.. for another team, when we trade him for a guy we end up giving away for a box of balls.

    Works for me. Part of the reason I liked Chuck Knoblauch was because he has a square head like mine which can be perfectly replicated with Legos. Edit: And not one of those wussy Lego kits the kids have now that are basically snap together model kits. I'm talking about the generic Legos that you could make into anything at long as it was mostly square.

    Just think how bad they'd be if they weren't all products of one of the top farm systems in baseball...

    A waiver acquisition that hits like Ted Williams for a month is due to regress in the same way that your car 'regresses' when you drive it into a pole... But the OBP is still pretty amazing. Expected that to dip down to .350 by now.

    A chance for him to reach first without pulling a hamstring. Or a prime rib.

    Well, now I've got that in reserve in case I come up empty at my bedtime gratitude exercise.

    I did say traditionally. This is an organization that fretted over Ortiz' inability to play first, handed the third base job to Nicky Punto, and agonized over Dougie Baseball's glove vs. Morneau's burgeoning All Star-caliber bat, among other defensive fetishes. And at least some of the staff who made it that way are still around. And like I said, my Molitor opinion was for novelty purposes only, not for use as a flotation safety device, etc. It's totally subjective. I'm just saying Molitor seems to have a personality that stands in stark contrast to, say, a Tommy Lasorda, or an Ozzie Guillen, who probably would respond to a player's concern about ethnicity factoring into their decisions with profanity so intense that it could serve as an alternative energy source. And maybe work in an ethic slur while they were at it.

    By way of a preface, my preference was for Ryan/Antony to Billy Beane Plouffe away to another team so that Molitor couldn't Art Howe him into the lineup every day at third over Sano, who should be playing there every day unless/until the World Health Organization determines that Sano's defense at third is putting the planet's population at grave risk. Which they might. That being said, Sano has committed enough atrocities at third that there shouldn't even be any surprise, let alone internal backlash, if a traditionally defense-first organization like the Twins decides to go with Plouffe at third and send Sano and his granite glove back to fielding boot camp in AAA Rochester. And if ANY player thinks he or any other player is being treated unfairly for ANY reason, then it's up to the Twins to make sure they have the kind of team atmosphere where those concerns can be discussed without fear of reprisal. For what it's worth (nothing, I think), Molitor seems to me like the sort of manager who would not only allow but actively promote that kind of atmosphere.

    Dang! I was gonna go with 'bundt cake'... http://www.nothingbundtcakes.com/_resources/dyn/files/75352953z2a69c816/_fn/MVP_Baseball_Birthday_No-Balloons_880x660.jpg

    Good call, but no, because not head first like Niko.

    Reluctantly agree with the idea that Nolasco had still had value, although arguably not to the Twins. His game log shows what is probably his greatest asset at the moment. He went 6 innings or more in two thirds of his starts, and only went fewer than 5 innings twice in 21 starts. Everything else aside, a starter who pitches more innings than the bullpen almost every time out still helps most teams on some level.

    Found the answer to my own question. It's the new assistant bench coach, Luca. Lives on the second floor. Come to think of it, I've seen him before.

    Cleveland beginning to realize that fastballs in Mr. Dead Red Pull Hitter's power zone are maybe not a good idea. In other news, Deputy Police Chief Duane T. Robinson is starting to think that the terrorists may be shooting at the lights... http://ejtangonan.weebly.com/uploads/1/8/5/1/18519042/970849313_orig.PNG

    Ok, so if that guy is Rosario, then who is the man sitting in the dugout and talking to himself? http://throughanewlens.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/godfather05.jpg

    He means we don't know where you live, cause we know where the tomatoes live, and we're gonna fix their wagon after what they said in the 'Trade Santana?' thread.

    So he's up to, like, 44 for the season!

    Just remember the immortal words of the great Mark Twain, who comforted a friend (Chief, maybe?) who was about to address a large, contentious town meeting, with these words: "Don't worry, they're not expecting much". J/K, you'll do great. Do some plagiarizing if you feel like it. Worst case is that you get some political speech writing job offers.

    Could be stress. Try a little tender mess.

    How is it that Dantana can look like a Gold Glover in the OF one game and then like a chipmunk stuck on a glue trap the next?
