The 1991 World Series team proved you can have a pair of decent hitting third baseman comebined hitting 8th (that's where Pags and Scott usually hit unless Harper was given a day off).<BR/><BR/>That lineup consisted of two table setters and five rbi type hitters which none of hit 30 homers.

I can't imagine that would be all that difficult to make that kind of upgrade.

That's the point I'm trying to make - that barring a trade, the Twins aren't likely to upgrade at that position next year, even if they do change the name of the player that is starting there.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907268840665045299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394137.post-33955995394658387132007-08-13T14:10:00.000-05:002007-08-13T14:10:00.000-05:00If everybody was happy with LNP last year (.725 OP...If everybody was happy with LNP last year (.725 OPS if I remember correctly), what would it hurt to give Morgan Ensberg (.720 OPS this year, much better in the recent past) a chance, given the options?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
