That's not going to happen. You can wish and hope all you want, but it's not going to happen. You can take that to the bank, count on it.

I'm  not wishing, hoping or counting on it. Just looking at the baseball problem pragmatically.

But it's not realistic, because we both know or should know Arte and Eppler will let him play until Albert decides to call it a career.

Of course it isn't realistic, that's not the point. The point is that this is the first time it could be reasonably argued that Pujols' contract, and not his skill as a baseball player, is what is keeping him in the lineup - 5 years and 68 games into a 10 year deal.

Why discuss something that has much of a chance of happening as me playing for the Yankees. As long he hits 20+ HR and 100 RBIs he will continue to play. He will hit those HR and RBI this year and next year...

I get your point, I just think it's pointless.

I get the point of this point being pointless point.

EY jr. will get us a good haul come trade deadline.

[Stradling]

This team values defense first a foremost. He hasn't played 2nd base regularly in 7 years.  In 2010 he had a career high of 35 games at 2nd. In those 35 games he made 6 errors.  

I like the guy, we all like the guy, but he is not an option at 2nd.  He will more than likely replace Revere when Trout comes back.  Even then he won't play much because Maybin has been very good.  

[Homebrewer]

DFA Revere and keep EY.

Got to admit. I laughed when I saw he was called up. But dude is fun to watch, shit just kind of happens when he's around right now. And he looks like he's having fun. 

Ride the lightening for as long as it lasts.

Ok. Kinda spooky. Just wrote ride the lightening while someone else posted that.

Offense is not so much of a problem now. Guys are contributing and we're seeing some decent and entertaining baseball. Young has been a spark. Maybin is great in the leadoff spot.

The pitchers dropping like flies is a problem, though.

[fan_since79]

Meant to post that in the game thread. My phone's acting up again.

EY would have caught that ball Calhoun let hit off the wall.

Let's see how he does over a few more games then I'll agree/disagree with you.  But impressive so far.

Update?

Of course both Cron and Valbueno should be playing over him.

Both Cron and Valbuena are younger and marginally out hit Albert last season.
