He played short, and they put Andrus, the regular shortstop in at DH. The kid is making it very difficult to leave him out of the lineup, and even more difficult to send him back to the minors next year.

If I were them, I'd deal Kinsler (he's a very good player too) and train Profar for second.<br /><br />Trading players, deal making, etc. is fascinating to me. It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall when these deals are cooked up. <br /><br />Does it start with a guy like Dumbrowski thinking, "geez, we need a shortstop." He goes to winter meetings or spring training, armed with scouting reports on a guy like Profar, and say to the Rangers, "What would it take?"

I am telling you. ventura for manager of the year. great guy, but, I hate seeing what I am seeing. he was out there too. Leyland has the experience though. but, again, has only been there to the top once. I still say the players seem to have lost respect for him possibly. some of them. I love the guy, but, look at bobby valentine. another great manager, and the players don’t respond to that either. I don’t have an answer. just hate seeing that scoreboard. last night, we were up at the Time I looked at it I think 4-1, and, sox were losign 2-0. next thing I know, they win 6-2. incredible. <br /><br /> Gregg Shields, The Commissionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126116444515992910noreply@blogger.com
