    I doubt 40 man space had anything to do with it. They had plenty of 40 man space. Shane Robinson? Doug Bernier? I would guess the reason they cut Colabello loose was their estimation he was a flash in the pan, with no positional value, who wouldn't sustain enough offense to overcome that. I suspect they will ultimately be proven correct. He didn't make Toronto's roster out of spring, either.

    Given the options, this is IMO the Twins best current lineup. Which is sad, considering it contains a backup futility infielder at DH, a sub-.600 OPS at SS, Suzuki hitting fifth, and a .707 OPS hitting third. On the other hand, it probably explains why the team is ten games under .500. I love baseball.

    A top 5 number 5. Awesome!
  4. USAFChief
    No.

    There isn't much difference between the two offensively in 2015. Defense is a matter of opinion, but I don't think Escobar has the physical talent to hold down SS on more than a temporary basis. I don't much care about their prospect status, but since you brought it up, Escobar wasn't highly rated either, and Santana outhit Escobar in the minors. Escobar didnt put up a .700 OPS at any minor league level. They both played way over their head last year, and BOTH are struggling this year. Let the kid who's a natural SS play it, let the utility player be one.

    In what way is Escobar a guaranteed improvement either offensively or defensively?

    Oswaldo Arcia was hitting .276/.338/.379 when he went on the disabled list, and he is widely viewed as a disappointment so far in 2015. As of this morning, Mauer is hitting .275/.333/.374.

    Torii Hunter has drawn more unintentional walks than Joe Mauer in 2015.

    How about Vargas up and back to a 7 man bullpen?

    The Tigers' Shane Greene started in Anaheim tonight, and only got 5 outs. He gave up 5 HRs to get those 5 outs.
  11. USAFChief
    Yes.
  12. USAFChief
    Feels like we stole one. I'll take it.
  13. USAFChief
    Winnah.
  14. USAFChief
    I wouldn't move Santana yet, either. If there was a clearly better alternative, sure, but IMO Escobar isn't one.
  15. USAFChief
    Anything less than enough for the post season. As always.
  16. USAFChief
    Perhaps the worst loss of the year.
  17. USAFChief
    concur. Let him have his 15 minutes against somebody else.
  18. USAFChief
    Just my opinion, but nobody hits a good pitch 400 ft. It was a predictable FB, and caught too much plate.
  19. USAFChief
    Effyew Colabelo.
  20. USAFChief
    Or carry a DH. Either way.
  21. USAFChief
    Well, poop.
  22. USAFChief
    Bottom 8. "In play, run(s)" please.
  23. USAFChief
    I see Molly in the dugout, signaling to his GM "one more inning, boss." Or something like that. It's one finger anyway.
  24. USAFChief
    You don't carry an 8 man bullpen just to leave a guy in for three consecutive hitters, my friend.
  25. USAFChief
    Not Staufer?
