Santana is a monster. Reminds me of Manny up there sometimes.

Speaking of Manny...is it accurate to say that Manny has played in each of a small market, medium sized market and large market? Thanks for any clarification.

This guy...wants serious discussion.

 

[Pyro]

THE DOUBLER!!!

Lowe just looks like a gamer out there. A guy that isn't going to blow you away but brings his lunch box and goes at you.

Agreed on that. I think this is his breakout season...I hope he mixes in some 1B and DH to save his knees a bit.

I thought ACab was an all-star defensive shortstop, Hannahan is a guy you play for defense, not his bat, and Kotchman is another defensive starter. If you're going to sacrifice offense for defense, shouldn't you at least be able to play defense?

Not that we actually have any offensive players that could be better, but still.

Anyone who thought ACab was an all-star defensive shortstop is a moron.

Hannahan tried to make a play that you never practice at 3rd.

Kotchman has been making incredible plays at 1st, don't know what that was about.

 

[Pyro]

SAFE! YEAH!

I did before. But you ruined it...and more importantly, the game started. I need to focus all my energy on rooting against everyone on the Indians.

 

[Soar]

In random minor league news, Weglarz has started 0-10 with 7 K's. Ouch.

I wasn't trying to insult Kotchman, I was just using him to illustrate that we have defensive minded players at every position on the infield except for Kipnis, Santana, and whoever is pitching. Cabrera is a pretty damn good defensive SS. I don't care what advanced metric you bust out to tell me otherwise, he makes plays that a lot of other SS can't make. He may be a little weak when it comes to his range, but he plays good D.

He plays average defense at best. He often makes bad throws and his range is significantly worse than "a little weak."

 

[Soar]

Cabrera is extremely talented but I feel he can make the ordinary plays look great making it easy to view him as gold glove worthy.

 

[elcheato]

Why didn't Pestano start the 8th?

 

[Soar]

Id trade our whole farm system for Bautista.

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

Boy, Bringing on Joe Smith there was stupid.

 

[Soar]

I'm sick of Acta pulling starters early.
