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

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

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

When Rasmus can carry an offense get back to me.

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.

But Youkilis is a MUCH better player.

Not in first half. Pablo has better numbers

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.

lol glad an A's fan can get in on the laugh as well.

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.

wtf man were we even talking about the A's right now? Jesus Christ you need to chill out.

Is he being asked to hit .183 versus left handers?

Once Rasmus gets full playing time hes gonna be a .300 30 HR 100 RBI hitter..as well as a 5-tool player.

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.

Oh, alright..lol but seriously..this Sandoval s**t is nuts.

Soon hes gonna be better then Pujols..

Right now Sandoval is better than Rasmus, and he carries his offense. Sandoval is CLEARLY not better than Pujols, but if he is even 3/4's as good I will be happy with him. Don't get upset at Giants fans for being excited about a home-developed position player. We haven't had offense since Bonds left, we're allowed to be excited.
