He's a damn good defender though...A 18.9 UZR/150 at 3B, 18.3 at SS, and 5.8 at 2B. Sign me up.

Punto's bat is worthless. His glove is fantastic though. I could still see the Twins going after Thome. Especially if they make a deal for a guy like Greinke that could involve Delmon Young, which isn't unthinkable.

Even a city like Minneapolis is probably too big for Grienke. He's not going to succeed unless he's in a KC, PIT, etc.

Javy can only flourish on shitty teams, Grienke can only do well on shitty teams in small markets.

no offense to your thoughts, but i think that is a reach on the greinke part. we have no clue how he would do on a bigger stage since he hasnt been on a bigger stage. javy is just a mental case.

He had a mental break down...for Kansas City....in spring training.....

He has social anxiety disorder, good luck with that in anywhere besides small market.
