    has it been brought up that LH is also slow as molasses. Great attitude, good hustle, team player but not the answer.

    With the way he plays...I think that might actually help.

    I'd swap him for Fahey in less than a heartbeat. (Broken record track no. 388 ...)

    With the complaints we've been hearing about Luis coming into camp overweight this year, did you really have to use this kind of expression to jinx Torres?

    Can you provide any insight on Eider's SS defense? I know he's played there, some this year and some in the past. But he doesn't seem to have gotten a full shot. Is he an emergency-only SS? Or could he conceivably play there on a regular basis?

    The jinx has already worked. I photographed Torres pulling out of the team parking lot after the game last night...it wasn't pretty.

    This is the last time I have to wonder whether Eider should be on the 40-man roster. Apparently, he's aiming to BE the 40-man roster.

    Sorry, I can't. Anyone else?

    My comment was more about Fahey than about Torres - on the knee-jerk theory that sight-unseen (re. ET defense) is better than known-joke (re. BF offense). Might as well add here that I was a LH booster going into this year - but he's basically squandered the chance he earned with his decent all-around play last year.

    Time to step it up at SS, with whatever options present themselves.

    Torres and LH are very similar guys....In other words, neither should start at AAA.

    Yikes, here we go again! He's hitting .357 in 70 AB at AAA (.410/.429/.839) and he doesn't belong there?

    In other words, what we see here is a LH impersonator.

    I kind of guessed the track record, but thanks for posting it anyway.

    So, what do we do now (beyond branching off into a 26-page E. Torres thread )?
