We can't sacrafice his at-bat with our poor lineup. I don't like this line-up anymore. He needs to be moved to third.

Was it a ball Morneau could have handled?</i> Everett's throws were a bit wide/low all night. The specific throw in question went wide left and pulled Morneau well off the bag (he was standing upright with his arm fully extended and still had to come off the bag to reel it in). He almost made a great play as he caught it to spin and tag the guy, but he just a little behind the runner. There were also a few throws from Everett that came out short and took a nasty hop or two that Morneau had to scoop. Dicknbert mentioned that Morneau had talked about the adjustments that come with three new infielders throwing styles. I'm sure they'll work the kinks out in due time.

Was it a ball Morneau could have handled? We've seen Twins infielders get a lot of throwing errors called on them over the years, because Morneau couldn't handle a slightly less than perfect throw, so I'm just wondering.
