    Every outfielder on the roster catches that, including Hermann. It was a high fly ball, and Esco stopped several feet before he should have, then lunged for it at the end. He just misjudged the slice.

    He reminds me of Cristian Guzman. With Santana, we have a chance to do that thing right. I always thought Guzman was rushed, and never learned certain basic skills that might have made him a perennial all-star. The challenge with Santana is to not rush him, but give him a chance to develop, so that he can reach his full potential when ready. What I have seen from him in the brief time he's been up here is he could be that special talent who would render the SS debate solved for the foreseeable future. I can definitely see why they didn't want to sign Drew. I think Santana will be up here for good after the all-star break. He is close. He's better than Florimon now, but he can be even better if he just cleans up a couple of minor issues.

    That was a very catchable ball that even Delmon Young catches. But this is Escos first game out there and he is clearly not used to those slicing fly balls.

    Gardy with his players playing out of position (Escobar). It all goes back to Bartlett. They would not be short on Outfielders if they hadn't insisted on holding onto Bartlett at the end of spring training. Arg.

    Cleveland announcers on Santana: "I think we're gong to be seeing this kid for some time."

    If this continues, they'll eventually run out of patience with him and his boss. It's about three years overdue for me.

    Wait and see. If you bring him up now, you have to DFA him to send him back down. I doubt he'd make it through after his scalding start.

    I suppose Antony is worried about Parmelee's options. If you add him and bring him up, you have to DFA him to send him back down. And he already lost Mastro that way. So we limp along until Arcia is ready, and Willingham, and Hicks. All three could be ready within a couple of weeks, and we know Parmelee would not stay on the MLB roster for all three activations.

    Time to call up Buxton. (JK)
  10. cmathewson
    He's not bad, as long as he only plays in an emergency. Maybe as the 26th man for double headers or something. But not as a regular player. As such, he's an out machine and a marginal outfielder.
  11. cmathewson
    It won't be long before Arcia is up here. Rumors say Friday. I can't come soon enough. But it is unconscionable that this guy is playing in the majors, when Parmelee is at least serviceable and raking in AAA. I know they need another roster spot, but WTF? DFA Hermann and bring up Parmelee. There's a .01 percent chance Hermann gets claimed at this point. People complain about Florimon, but at least he is providing defensive value. Hermann is practically an automatic out, and a below-average corner outfielder. Yes he can catch, but he has not caught one inning all year, an indication that he is not really a catcher.

    Thank you Asdrubel.

    What is the typical decline in Ks in moving from the NL to the AL?
  14. cmathewson
    What? You can pinch hit or pinch run for the DH.
  15. cmathewson
    Let's give them more outs! It could be fun!
  16. cmathewson
    Tough hop.
  17. cmathewson
    Not that it mattered, but Gardy dodged a bullet there.
  18. cmathewson
    Now he better pinch hit for Pedro, or I'm giving his cell phone number to Mike.
  19. cmathewson
    Dumbest challenge of the year.
  20. cmathewson
    An 8-pitch inning for the Mendoza boys.
  21. cmathewson
    Call it the Mendoza inning.
  22. cmathewson
    What was Colabelo doing on that play?
  23. cmathewson
    Best athletes on the field. The Indians announcers are saying the Dozier throw was wild, but I think he was throwing it to Gibson all along. Great play at both ends.
  24. cmathewson
    I wouldn't give up on Arcia as a corner outfielder. He has really improved his defense, and he's only 22 years old. Plouffe could move to right when Sano comes. Rosario will hit enough and play good enough defense to man a corner. Walker is a prospect, as is Harrison. We have more outfield depth in the system than I can remember. Most of it is in Fort Myers.

    Of all the people they had to DFA to make room for Fuld, why did it have to be the only healthy center fielder above Low A ball?
