O'Day is looking good
I love Gentry, I would rather carry him over Treanor if we make the playoffs, his bat is weak but the guy has wheels and is great defensively
Both will be on the roster.
Kinsler, Gold Glove 2B 2011
Nice thought but not likely ... he's going to end up behind Beckham, Pedroia, and Cano.

Odds are Pedroia gets it although East Coast media could give it to Cano again.
Just a reaction to a nice defensive play, he won't nor is most deserving to win it
Total possibility, so 11 pitchers in that scenario?
Actually way I figure it ... w/12 man staff I see the 13 position players being:
3 C (Napoli, Torrealba, Treanor)
5 IF (Moreland, Kinsler, Beltre, Andrus, Young)
1 UIF (Blanco)
3 OF (Hamilton, Cruz, Murphy)
That totals 12 position players who are a lock on a roster spot ... with the last spot going to Gentry on the basis of his defense, RH bat, speed, and baserunning talent.
If Gentry stays hot ... he fills more than a late inning/pinch running role ... which makes Chavez the odd man out because in my opinion TEX would benefit more from having a 12th pitcher than having Chavez.
But ... I've been wrong before. We'll see ...
I somewhat agree with that scenario, its still hard to contemplate leaving out Chavez after he's been so valuable during the regular season, but thems the breaks
Hamilton's GS last night cost that carpet/flooring company $500000
yes & no... they took out an insurance policy for the promotion
