We need a 20 homer, 90rbi season from him for him to be worth what he's being paid, and it's only fair that he get the opportunity to be healthy to do that. Meanwhile it gives the Twins 3 guys in the lineup capable of stealing 20 bases in a row, and it gives Mauer and Morneau a chance to get more RBI with Span up here... and believe me I never in my lifetime thought I'd be wanting to see Span.

Bring up Span who has played way better than I thought he was capable of playing this year. Move Young to RF for a while, and let Span play in LF. LF Span 2B Cassilla CA baby jesus 1b Morneau RF Young DH Kubel 3B Busher SS Harris CF Gomez If Span can keep his new found eye at the plate... even if he hits .275 he will have a .350 OB% and that would be more imporant than Cuddyer has been so far this season... Let Cuddy get healthy so he can try and be a help, and not just a body in the lineup.

If Span can keep his new found eye at the plate… even if he hits .275 he will have a .350 OB% and that would be more imporant than Cuddyer has been so far this season… Let Cuddy get healthy so he can try and be a help, and not just a body in the lineup.

It was ugly and they are incredibly obnoxious!!"</i> Yeah. I've noticed times like these the "fans" come out of the wood work. We're talking the kinds of road fans that don't "cheer", but rather do that obnoxious thing where htey stand up and sarcastically applause while looking around at the home fans. The "loyal" "diehard" road fans that will be the first ones out the door if their team's down by more than a couple after 6. “I was out in left field and I am certain that 75% of the fans were Brewers fans.

He is currently pitching into the 7th against the dreaded Padres, having just given up a two-run single to Tony Clark, while leading 4-2. Prior to tomight, his last ten starts yielded an 0-9 record witha a 8.5+ ERA. So much for the $48 MM Man. Trav, Your reference to Silva is most apropos.
