It couldn't be worse than Troy Glaus playing SS. And yes, I know he played SS in college, but at this point in his career, on bum knees to boot, a Major League shortstop! :shock:

Just in:

Xavier Nady from Mets to Pirates for R. Hernandez and Ol. Perez

[Ninersphan]

Yes because the Mest lost Duaner Sanchez for the rest of the season do to an auto accident involving the taxi he was riding in last night. His shoulder was hurt in the incident

9'r,

You're right about Thome's initial position but not many Indian fans recall him lumbering over at 3B as a much lighter "Jim Thome".

I have his rookie card and he looks a good 30 lbs smaller.

:shock:

Jim is too much of hopplehead to take the candy.

While he may have a great swing, he didn't have a great way of speaking / thinking.

He had to be the only Cleveland Indian who could fully understand Charlie Manuel.

Have you ever listen to an interview with Charlie?

Geez!

Actually, take a look at almost any player's rookie picture versus their picture in their late 30's. Men mature. It's natural. Ever see what Ted Williams looked like as a rookie? He was a rail.

For Jim Thome, I want to say he morphed big in less than 5 years (right before he moved to 1st base).

Otherwise, I weigh less now than I did in high school (i'm 6'2" plus still and over 40 y.o.s.) :roll:

[Jeepdriver]

I'm in my 40's and I weigh approx. 65 more lbs than I did my Senior year in H.S. (150 TO 215)

Niner - you see I have BOTH Kotsay AND Gibbons OUT for tonight's series. Repko will be in CF and J. Hernandez will be in RF :shock: :shock: :shock:

I need some kind of provision like they have in NASCAR when they fail to qualify. Maybe play Kotsay tonight and Gibbons tomr. night. Hey, that's a thought. :?
