He's not going anywhere folks. Unless he gets injured. Since coming to Detroit he's been fine in the clubhouse and hasn't had any problems with management. Maybe he just needed to get out of Milwaukee.

He needs to start getting on base. Watch how fast he gets moved from th leadoff hole if he doesnt pick up his bat relatively soon. I know its only 3 games in, but how long does Trammel leave him there if the guy simply isnt getting on base? Dont forget - Vina was a career leadoff hitter, so he really does have competition. This lineup can be pretty flexible for Trammel - I mean, who would have guessed Munsun in the 9 spot? Im not saying he'll lose his staring CF gig, but at the same time, he needs to start stepping up pretty soon.
And Vina is a worse leadoff hitter than Sanchez. He's much slower with about the same OBA. I wouldn't worry about Sanchez losing the leadoff spot.
I am definitely happier...but I would rather see a steal or two out of him than a HR. Needless to say, if he could surprise me and hit 15 HRs this year, I would be very very happy, as long as he also gets near 50 steals.
well i own Sanchez in one of my leagues and im not worried at all.. its been only 4 games.. too early to say how a players is going to do after just 4 games... he should do at least 280-75-5-30-40 which is not bad at all when you draft him in the 17th or 18th round...
don't wanna jinx anything, but is anyone sold after 6 solid innings? i'm a little jumpy after affeldt screwed me today...guess i should have waited a start or two to see how he did...riley worth a pickup over affeldt or edwin jackson?
