I've seen a lot of scenarios mentioned here. Is it possible that the Twins will go for Escobar as the regular shortstop and move Nuñez in as the utility infielder? Who knows? Maybe Nuñez can become the next Alex Gordon and become a plus defensive outfielder. Not likely, I know.

Somewhere around 1-3 times a season, a player is traded or let go and people tear at their hair over the deal.

 

Once has that player turned into something meaningful within a reasonable time frame. A certain DH for the Red Sox. I think we all know his name.

 

I think that you can add Liriano and Garza and Lohse and Hardy and Dickie to that list.
