2009-07-21 13:00:00	How come the Twins haven't signed Julio Lugo yet? Given their sinkhole of production at 2b - Lugo seems like a sizeable upgrade. (goiter6 from MN)	Do the Twins really want Julio Lugo to play 2B? From what I’ve seen of Lugo this season, he simply doesn’t possess the athleticism anymore. Maybe it’s the knee, or maybe it’s the aging process, or maybe it‘s both or something else. Regardless, he reminds me a lot of Jose Offerman when he played in Boston -- a speedy free-agent sign who all too quickly became a middle infielder without range who could no longer motor around the base paths. Lacking plus power, Offerman became little more than a singles hitter who did else well. Given that the Red Sox opted to keep Nick Green instead, is that not what Lugo is right now? (David Laurila)

2008-10-27 16:30:00	World Series Game Five	"jlebeck66 (WI): Moot point now, but... Wally Berger (0-15) & Lonny Frey (0-17)in 1939 for CIN" I hadn't gotten back there yet. I was working backwards from today. Two of my favorite players, btw. Berger was a monster stuck in the gigantic, windy Beehive for most of his career. Frey was a young shortstop under Casey Stengel who was a good hitter for a middle infielder of the day, but was pretty much Jose Offerman. That's actually a perfect comp (and one I feel like I've used before) - his career took off when Bill McKechnie realized he could be an asset if teams stopped asking him to do things he couldn't and moved him to second... The '39 WS was a whitewash for the Yankees, but there were actually several moments it could have gone the Reds' way with a little luck. (Steven Goldman)
