    Hey guys. Just got back from my afternoon trek in the Himalayas, so I've been out of Internet reach for a while. What's new?

    In response to the several posts that followed this, can I please point out that the notion of the front office worrying excessively about the players' feelings was started as a hypothetical, with satire at its heart, and does not need to be debated on its own merits?

    Sano can drop a popup at first just as well as at third. The guy has shown good tools to play his current position but is woefully inconsistent. I was afraid that fans would show little patience with him, despite all the brave words about bringing the kids up and letting them take their lumps. I'm not 100% confident he will ever attain the consistency needed, but we need to let him play and find out.

    Bartender, can you please cut this man off, and maybe confiscate his car keys and call him a cab?

    Was hoping for better. Oh well, wait until tomorrow, when we have our ACE going for us. (Who was it they said that's starting?)

    The more you drink, the less you brain.

    You miss a little, you miss a lot. Good plays and bad plays. It's been an interesting first few innings.

    That's the play I always give Sano credit for being able to make, so I guess I'll shut up about it now.

    DickBert claim Buxton was out on a bang-bang play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d6f9j7gAdY

    Kepler plays that RF wall well. This is nice. The pitchers must appreciate having a margin of error.

    Ramirez at third could give some lessons on handling popups to Sano. Nice job there.

    Does she call you Maurice?

    BUXTON!!!! Not a HR, but just about as good.

    Is Mauer running OK? He looked a little gimpy coming home on the SF.

    How do his numbers compare to Arcia's since the all star break?
  19. ashbury
    That's my default assumption until proven otherwise.

    Any links for a good inning-by-inning shadow market where I can try to do a little arbitrage?

    It's a term from the radio industry, so it might be a little obscure. But it means disk jockeys playing songs out of the goodness of their hearts so as to give struggling new artists a chance.

    When you drop a player from the 40-man, you stand to flat out lose him on waivers, on the spot, to any team with room on their own 40-man. No Rule 5 restrictions on keeping him on the 25-man active roster for a season. Since he's got minor league options remaining, I would think some team with a weak farm system might find room for him as a gamble. It's a quibble, and I agree with your comparison to other players in the system, but the chance of losing a player this way is higher than simply through Rule 5. Maybe Rosario becomes the New Duensing as the preferred throw-in to sweeten an otherwise impossible trade. A guy with options remaining is a bit more valuable than one who has to stick with the big club.
