And we will be worse on both sides of the ball.

Making a throwing error 

They should give Valbuena all 3B starts vs RHP, and only start Noscobar vs lefties.

I'd be good with that.

This is actually a pretty legitimate solution to the problems associated with watching this team.

[Troll Daddy]

The platoon will be Cron and Valbuena ... although, will have to see what our fearless leader decides. I'm ok with whatever Sosh does with the lineup.

Awesome...i can almost see the throw pulling the 1B off the bag in my mind right now.

At least he'll be history after this season.

And so will "Yescobar"

[GrittyVeterans]

The funny part about this is he would be a huge upgrade at DH for this team

But not with Sosh as manager

I'm thinking "Lesscobar"

[Docwaukee]

Maybin/Revere 

Trout

Calhoun

Cron

Valbuena

Simmons

Escobar

Something's missing, but I can figure out what it is.

Yelich LF (batted 1st all of 2013)

Trout

Calhoun

Cron (DH)

Valbuena

Simmons

Thaiss

Maldonado

Cowart

Two of Marlin's top prospects are CF's so maybe they'd be willing to trade Yelich.

He would cost the Angels a lot less in prospects than Stanton...maybe either Marsh or Jones as the starting point?

I'm just not sold on absorbing Stanton's contract no matter how good he is and I'd think Miami would want Adell to start the deal.

I really can't believe I am saying this but I agree.  I am convinced it's time to sit Pujols.  I know it won't happen but last night when he was on 1st and the second baseman booted the ball the shortstop had to retrieve it but the still got Pujols out at second by two steps.  If he that slow it's time to consider a change.

Yep. Veterans don't sit when they return from the DL. Cron or Valbuena will be the odd man out.

Don't you ever get tired with this tired shtick?

Funny thing is, Cron and Valbuena are both veterans. But yeah, Escobar is gonna be right back to starting.

[zenmaster]

It's starting to be problematic having too many guys that are better than Pujols. If only there was a solution.

Put Pujols on the 60 day DL? 

He couldn't even make it to 2B with the 2B booting the ball...so instead of bases loaded and no outs had first and third and one out.
