    and, let's face it, this is hardly the first time it's been brought up. Maybe on this thread, but it's not a new idea :-)

    'Sano in right as a mistake.Schwaber is built along the same lines as Sano. Shorter, but about the same BMI.Can't find where people thought Epstien and Maddon were idiots. The all Star Bryant does not always play 3b, he gets to play OF Jeezo, those Cubs must sure be idiots.' Sano is only 35, 40 pounds heavier than Schwarber (BMI doesn't matter, that's 35-40 more pounds to get moving out there. Has there been a heavier OF given a starting OF job. Pretty sure there hasn't) and Sano, unlike Schwarber, had no time in the minors as an OF. With the exception of those things, their situations are exactly alike.... Tons of fans said the idea of putting Sano out in the OF was ridiculous right from the start, and he ended up being horrible out there. For those people who want to continue to think it was a well conceived idea from the Twins braintrust, that's on them. It's kind of like faith.

    yup.

    If you read my post in regards to the post I was responding to, I wasn't pinpointing Gordon as the one who makes Escobar a non-factor. We were talking about Polanco and whether or not he should be traded. I think Escobar in no way should be a player who blocks Polanco at shortstop and Gordon is too far down the road to even consider at this point. Escobar should be a utility IF. That's it. Still a useful piece, but not someone I, personally, think should be a regular starter. So, basically, I'm saying when it comes to starting jobs, Escobar is a non-factor
  5. jimmer
    which Santana?
  6. jimmer
    For me, Escobar is a non-factor and we have no idea how Gordon will be in a few years. I wouldn't take either of them into consideration. Dozier, he should be putout there for trade bait as an established 2Ber so we can have the younger on base machine (Polanco) play 2B. He won't be, but should be. Polanco should be the everyday shortstop right now until Gordon forces him out (if Gordon is ever good enough for that to happen). Then he needs to be moved to 2B to replace Dozier.
  7. jimmer
    Never trade Polanco. Ever.
  8. jimmer
    Exactly

    this team has gotten to the point where I expect us to win close games. If we're down by a couple runs I expect us to come back, and I'm not waiting for them to find a way to lose the game. This is fun baseball right now. And MAN, Polanco and Kepler need to be permanent fixtures in the lineup.
  10. jimmer
    they are shooting for a loss record that DOESN'T start with 9. And it could happen. They could get to 73 or more wins.
  11. jimmer
    yup, happens all the time....
  12. jimmer
    Kepler and Mauer co-players of the week.
  13. jimmer
    our 25th man is starting yet again. SHOCKED!
  14. jimmer
    the first name that popped in my head was Maybin.

    I'm not a subscriber and I can't seem to find the info.

    Why are our expectations to blame? What kind of expectations should we have for a guy so highly touted by everyone for so long? He's not even achieving mild expectations.
  17. jimmer
    He's not reaching even mild expectations at this point, much less extremely high expectations

    Bradley also never broke the top 20 in prospect listings. Our guy was top 2 for three years straight. It's weird we keep having to compare a guy so highly rated fr so long to just everyone his age/first X amount of PAs. Can't we have higher expectations for a guy so highly rated for so long? I want to know when we are allowed to be disappointed without getting ragged on for being disappointed? Does he have to be 25? 26? How old exactly?
  19. jimmer
    sorry, not everyone knows that. my bad :-)
  20. jimmer
    I don't ever want Polanco in the OF. just say no!
  21. jimmer
    that's the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything. 42, no matter what the question.
  22. jimmer
    The winning has been so much fun. When we were down 2-1, I actually expected us to come back and win. Haven't had that feeling for quite some time. Good feeling.

    Bremer said Rays must may been paying attention to what Kepler did in Cleveland. That's why they didn't walk Joe. Um, what about what Joe did in Cleveland, Dick?!
  24. jimmer
    that's what TB gets for not setting up the double play!
  25. jimmer
    giving away more outs.
