No you mentioned something about Sizemore comparing the two of them in the leadoff spot, told you that Sizemore was better than Granderson and then went on from there. We have been through this before and you always bring out the Carl Crawford thing. At least I dont hang on my one mistake when you have made many. Like Gullien being as good as Jeter or Infante better than Polanco and how Infante will be future SS.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I can betcha it wont happen, not unless Casey and Shelton both get hurt.

ok i never said anything about sizemore, what the hell does casey and shelton have to do with infante playing short? how come you keep arguing numbers?

For starters you always argue numbers talking about if you go to espn.com and you do this it sorts out Gulliens #'s to be right at par with Jeter over 162 game season.

Your so full of your self sometimes.

Also since you seem to be stuck in retardville, I will break it down so you can understand.

You talked earlier about how Gullien should go to first and Infante would eventually play SS, so since you have two perfectly healthy people who's natural postitions are first base in Casey and Shelton, then I dont see Gullien being mover there unless they both get hurt hence opening up the spot at SS and Infante might get his chance then.

Geez, I love this love/hate relationship we have. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

casey is only signed to a 1 year contract and has a hostory of injuries. shelton isn't gonna make the big league squad hence why they are training thames at first.

Why would they train Thames at first? Shouldnt they just put Gullien there instead? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Also I dont get why Shelton wouldnt make the team. He has decent power and has put up ok numbers when he had the chance. Yeah, he started off hot last year, then slumped, but it happens. Not like he is terrible.

3-4 years from now guillen will not be a shortstop. his leg injuries have limited his range at short. if there were no concerns of his range at short, the tigers would've given him a fat contract by now.

K, like I said you are comparing numbers that really dont matter being Jeter has 600 more at bats than Gullien in that 3 year span.

Also Thames isnt a first base guy. Shelton if I remember correctly, 1st base has always been his natural postition, so why train someone there when Thames has been an outfielder, DH.

Understandable, but then why not put him at DH?

Also you said 4 years, and I doubt honestly Sheffield will last that long.

sheffield is signed for 3 years, you have magglio on the team, and you got maybin in the wings for the outfield.

Dont know who maybin is, but I guess he is the next great thing out of Detriot?

he's 19 years old and was ranked the 6th best prospect in the country. he apparently fits the mold of a manny ramirez but a better baserunner and defender
