One can only imagine the cries over his ineptness with the bat had the Padres had Adam Everett at SS instead of Khalil Greene. Everett is awesome with the glove but meek with the bat.

31: I thought I had phrased my post to indicate that it should include the whole league.

From what I’ve seen/heard of Tulo, it seems like he has a stronger arm. I’m not sure how his range compares to Khalil’s.

I'd personally take Adam Everett over Greene. Tulo might be up there. I'm sure there are a couple of other guys you might consider. Still, he's an elite defender, I think.

Young’s hurt again. It’s the back. He’ll miss his next start against the Phillies, but it’s unknown whether or not he’ll go on the DL. Needless to say, uh oh.

29, 30: Pitchers will almost always publicly say their own players are great defenders. The Yankee staff will tell you straight-faced that they don't want anybody behind them but Jeter, based only on his glove.

re 30: Seriously why does everyone always ask that question? No one here doubts that the pitching staff would pick KG over Blum, but compare KG to others in MLB and you might get a different answer.

29: I dunno man, I really think it's tough to make an argument that Khalil is over-rated on D. I think the best way to measure his effectiveness is to ask the pitching staff who they would rather have at short. I'm willing to be most of them would pick Khalil over most SS in the league.

Re:27…or could it be, as a few of us suspect and have argued, that KG is overrated?

Last night was tough…I looked at my friend last night and said I have a bad feeling about closing it out tonight…sure enough…and it sounds like I was not the only one. Hey, at least we scored some runs in a decent pitcher’s park!

Free Pat the Bat!!!

On the topic of Stauffer’s recent successes in AAA…anyone think the fact that there is some opportunity with the Wells release has “lit a fire” under Tim? Maybe he’s just one of those guys who if they perceive a ceiling don’t focus as hard or perform as well?
