Gardenhire wants Eckstein

[Brian the Automator]

I've always had a lot of respect for him," Gardenhire said. "He catches the ball. He knows how to play. He's a proven winner."

 

I don't doubt that he catches the ball... Too bad he doesn't play first base, cuz he'd be all set.

Boy, Gardenhire is lowering the standards for what qualifies as a good Shortstop. Someone who knows how to catch and knows how to win and knows the rules of the game?

The Ecks factor, baby! Just out of carry-over AL spite, I'd love to see the Twinks sign him. To think, I was under the impression Gardenhire was smart...
