"Trevor Hoffman, one of the most accurate pitchers of his era, used to express concern at the prospect of fielding a comebacker or a bunt and then throwing to second base. He said he went several years without having to make that play, and had mild doubts about his ability to do it. And he was drafted as a shortstop. " -

Latos gets a boost " NCTimes.com Blogs
"I think it’s kind of a confidence thing – a confidence boost almost," Latos said. "To be able to go out there and the pitcher’s up and you’re thinking if you command your pitches you get an out. (Oswalt) somehow got it. Rollins was what, 2-for-2 off me already? I thought I was coming out. It was big to leave me in. It kind of let me know that he was happy with the job I’d done and I got the ground ball out."

That means we're going to find our way out.
See, whatever SanChez predicts, the opposite tends to occur.

Ask any baseball player, any real baseball player. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning.

Just ignore him
Statements that begin with plural nouns and then the word “are” are stereotypes at best, and hurtful generalizations at worst.
(See what I did there?)
Anyway, nobody really has a right to claim any sort of moral high ground when it comes to supporting a sports team. Sure, it’s fun to hate Dodger fans because they’re Dodger fans, but there’s a line. I think that blog post that labels all supporters of this team as “pathetic” just because he ended up buying a ticket where a Philly vacationers junket reserved their seats is over that line.
Get over yourself, websoulsurfer.

So, barring some seriously last-minute moves
that makes him eligible for the postseason, right?
If he were to remain on the roster
through the deadline, he would be elegible to play in any games that might be played when the regular season ends.
Not immediately, but he will be if he stays (like field39 says)
But, we can still add more players anyway. The postseason eligible players are anyone who is on the 25 man roster plus anyone who is on the 40 man roster and can be named as a replacement for a player on the disabled list. For example, Kyle Blanks has been on the DL so someone on the 40 man roster can be named as his replacement for postseason eligibility.
The most famous usage of this rule was when the Angels used Francisco Rodriguez as a replacement for a pitcher that had Tommy John surgery at the beginning of the season and either didn’t play or barely played for the Angels that year.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
