Please don't tell me you guys are saying Sandoval is a better player then Youkilis.

Put it this way.. I wouldnt trade Pablo for Youkilis and Pablo had a better first half. Hows that for you.

Well yeah, Pablo's youth is a big plus and he's gonna be a pretty descent player. But right now, he's not better. Had a good 1st half..but Youk will finish the year better IMO.

Pretty decent? LOL.. I wouldnt trade Pablo for any 2 Cards position players not named Pujols.

Then you're out of your mind. Rasmus alone is a better young talent then Sandoval.

Now I know you are an idiot if you think Rasmus is better than Pablo. The guy is hitting .183 versus lefties. Hell.. he basically should be a platoon player.

Pablo has no protection in the lineup, hits in a MUCH harder park for hitters, and is 6 years younger.

And just started to get hot. His power didn't come until the beginning of June this year. IMO he'll have a great 2nd half to the season.

This Sandoval worship stuff is starting to get out of control.

Colby Rasmus is one of the best young prospects in all of MLB.

Heres a link

(can't post it regularly..on my blackberry)

Sandoval is putting up some surprising numbers..but really?



Once Rasmus gets full playing time hes gonna be a .300 30 HR 100 RBI hitter

Yes.. since the only reason they even have an all star is the rule of having 1 player for every team. Ya.. the A's star young hitter is... in A ball.

Sandoval carries the offense because SF doesn't have anyone else..

The other day on Baseball Tonight a guy said he'd give $10 to anyone (other then a Giants fan, or a hardcore baseball fan) that could name the Giants starting lineup.

Isn't your cleanup hitter Aaron Rowand or Randy Winn?

Rasmus isn't being asked of that yet.

I wasn't talking about that , I was talking about us posting basically the EXACT same thought 1 millisecond apart, two different times in the last few pages of this thread. Sandoval is a good young player, so is Rasmus. Anything further than that is a pissing contest IMO.
