My main reason for optimism with Sanchez is that, in his past 2 starts, he HAS been missing bats. If that continues, then he is moving in the right direction. I'm cautiously optimistic based on that fact alone. (Will take more than 2 starts for me to say "hey, he's improving", but it's a slightly encouraging sign.)
This is about the point in the evening where I start complaining about umpires and suggesting they be replaced by super-intelligent cyborgs from the future...
I'm not buying into him as a hitter, just curious if he's a guy we could keep and a bench/milb piece (not that we have a history of using the 40 man roster effectively...)

I'm just setting myself up for pure dominance in the second half, just so y'all know that...
I find it hard to justify Valencia over Pillar here. Neither are good hitters vs. RHP, but at least Pillar is a stellar OF, not an IF that they're tossing out there for shits and grins...
They can convert it to a full time baseball stadium, which is a start... Grass is going to be complicated in that environment, drainage and grass that will thrive without full time natural light being the biggest issues. I'm sure people are working on it, however.
