When will people stop referring to RBI totals to evaluate the value of a hitter? A guy can bat .400 and get barely any RBI and a guy can hit .200 and rack up RBI. It is simply dependent on who is on...

Have you seen Delmon play defense? Or should I say, have you seen him TRY to play defense? Scoring runs on offense gets negated if you flop around like a fish out of water in the outfield, hence...

"Sending him back down negates the good vibes created by his auspicious arrival, and yet there's no path to long-term regular playing time with the big-league club"

uhhh what about sending Hicks...

Umm why should Grienke be suspended? Or are you saying every pitcher should be suspended every time they hit a batter? It's a 3-2 pitch in a 1-0 ball game.... this wasn't an 0-0 pitch as his head, or...

Gotta love early season knee-jerk reactions...

By the way, anyone know the route of the Twins' World Series Parade? On pace for 108 wins. All those offseason worries were for nothing!

...except for teams like the Twins who don't have one. Sorry, had to say it.

umm, why not put him in the 2 hole? He's an OBP machine (aka best in the league) and has less power than Morneau, and Hammer. Why put some bum who is going to hit .240 in the two hole just because he...

I'll set my homerun expectations around 15-20. Teams have more film on him now and should know how to pitch to him better. Anyone know if Plouffe's homers were mostly pulled, or was he doing a good...

*facepalm*

Basically the same responses to this as the people posting above me. Yes, Mauer is most valuable as a catcher, but he has no value if he isn't on the field at all or worn out from...

Maybe not, but let's be honest. A large percentage of Twins fans sure felt that way and still do.

Sounds a lot like Alexi Casilla. Talent, skills, no consistency and a ton of mental mistakes... I'll wait a few years before getting excited.

It's reminders like this that make me glad the NHL came back.

damn, beat me to it. I was going to share the article. Unbelievable.

Amphetamines were still illegal unless you had a prescription (hey, just like steroids!) before 1971. I doubt all MLB clubs got a team prescription to legally allow them to brew a cup of coffee with...

Bogus! These guys SAVED baseball in 1998. The game was dull and boring, then came history assaults on the homerun record books. Hell, MLB should give them medals for putting their long-term health at...

News Flash: People have been cheating since the game began. The only thing has changed is how they cheat. Who is to say that amphetamines are perfectly okay, but steroid use leads to being not voted...

So if we had given Willingham something like 18M a year you would have been happier? Sounds like all you want is upgrades to the payroll and not worried about the return. Getting cheaper and better,...

Had it not been for a rash of injuries, Tommy Kramer really wasn't that bad, all things considered.[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure he meant the University of St. Thomas Tommies....

I like it. Trading from a position of excess to fill a void. Makes too much sense not to do it. Here's hoping this guy develops into a Major Leaguer in the next couple years.

I'd take a team of 25 A-holes that wins games over a team full of the 25 nicest guys on the planet that loses 90 games a season.

The Tiger's owner spends some of his own money out of pocket to improve the team and doesn't care about making money with the Tigers. The Twins owners base payroll off of revenue only. There's your...

I'd rather the Twins build a team that has a chance, or is projected, to win 95 and miss the mark and end up with 90 rather than aim for 86 and end up with 81. No one knows what it will take to win...

hmm let's see. For example: $8million/year to play on a team that's consistently in the playoffs, or $8mill/year to be on a 90+ loss team the last two years, everything else being equal? Pretty...
