I'm saying they will because you don't want to get your hopes up but from what they displayed, their futures are bright. I think Cervelli and Pena both have potential to become starters.

It’s dumb to mess with success. OTOH, this team isn’t particularly well run, so I’m confident that they will do something dumb. ------------------------------------------------------------ Don't fix it, if its not broke.

If that is true (someone correct me if I’m wrong), I would send down Cervelli and see what Pena can do for the rest of the season. They’ll all be back soon enough when they expand the teams to the full 40. ------------------------------------------------------------ I think you got a bad source. I haven't read or heard that anywhere. I think they got plenty of options with him. Are you thinking of Ransom maybe? Arno

He's an absolute travesty at everything he does, whether its batting or fielding. Why can't Pena just be the backup infielder? Don't give me that veteran BS.

I see no reason to do otherwise. Cervelli has stepped right in, has a better stick than Molina and is more than adequate behind the plate. It also seems to me that the pitchers have grown to trust Cervelli, so why not? The future has to start sometime. I've always believed the best players should play and in this case Cervelli is the superior player. Personally, I would send Molina down. I see no reason to do otherwise.

This opens the Dh roll for Nick Swisher and occasionally Jorge Posada. Next, We have to move Johnny Damon from the second spot in the batting order to fifth where he can protect A-Rod. Move Swisher to 2nd in the order. Now its time to package Melkey and Robinson Cano and Jose Molina for a top notch offensive and defensive Rightfielder. Keep Cisco Cervelli and Ramiro Pena on our major league roster. Bring up Kevin Russo to replace Cano. Bring up Shelley Duncan for some versatility and puch off the bench. Keep Brett Gardner as our everyday Centerfielder. Finally, after these moves are made, sit back and enjoy a CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. First thing we have to do is say goodbye to Hideki Matsui.
