Date	Question	Answer
2011-06-02 13:00:00	Is Danny Espinosa for real and can I win my league with him as my starting 2B all year? (Brighid from Long Island, NY)	Sure, you can win your league with an empty 2B spot if you play your cards right, but I'd probably sell Espinosa while I can. He's not going to pace 30 HRs the rest of the year and the AVG isn't likely to get a whole lot better. He's not terrible, but you'd probably get more value via trade than keeping him. (Derek Carty)
2011-05-18 13:00:00	Are Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa going to hit this year? (Charlie from Bethesda, MD)	Espinosa yet, Desmond no. I think Espinosa is going to be one of those guys who quietly has a very good career. (John Perrotto)
2011-01-03 14:00:00	Speaking only in terms of offensive production, better career Danny Espinosa or Jason Kipnis? (Socialist Joe from Somewhere in NY)	Kipnis. (Kevin Goldstein)
2010-10-20 13:00:00	Do you think Ian Desmond has the potential that the organization seems to think he has? (Charlie from Bethesda, MD)	The errors trouble me, the lack of selectivity troubles me, but as Christina pointed out in her aforementioned GM for a Day piece, putting Desmond and Danny Espinosa together up the middle seems like a no-brainer, a chance to have some above-average pop at those positions. As she said, they're not going to be Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell (Trammell for the Hall of Fame NOW!) but they don't need to be. (Steven Goldman)
2010-09-13 13:00:00	What do you think of the Ian Desmond - Danny Espinosa middle infield combo? It seems to me the Nats will have quite the infield for years to come, no matter who's on first (Charlie from Bethesda, MD)	Meh, they look stopgappy to me. Desmond seems competent enough but he's going to have to get that OBP above league average for me to be at all impressed; .320 with a 4/1 K/BB ratio doesn't cut it. And as I pointed out in last week's NL Hit List, Espinosa's translations for his minor league work come out to a .208 True Average. I think it's dangerous to get too excited about his hot start at the big league level - call it the Taylor Teagarden effect. (Jay Jaffe)
