    Not the back end of a double steal or a two out full count! Bonus was that Bremer said how unlikely it was they'd send Kubel a pitch or two before the steal.

    His wOba and wRC in 2011 ranked 27th and 25th respectively, so "low end starter" is accurate. He'd probably be a decent backup with the right deal, but the Twins aren't going to get the right deal if he continues hitting well enough to be a legit Plan B for Pinto. So Catch 22 factor is in play. Also, at age 30, the likelihood of decline is fairly high. And the optimism over Suzuki's very nice 7 weeks aside, that's the real issue for me. Committing significant salary to a guy likely to regress is bad but forgivable. Putting Josmil Pinto behind the plate at a rate that's on pace for roughly 45 games this season is, to me, inexcusable. Have heard the whole 'let him learn from the bench' thing; just disagree. So barring the firing of Gardenhire, the only assurance this situation won't continue to hinder Pinto's development is that the Twins don't hand Gardy the keys to the Suzuki next season.

    No need, UC. She not only approved the pic, she emailed it to me. Watching you like a hawk, but wishes you well on your west coast park tour. Otoh, if you're crushed by a little old lady on a supercharged mobility aid, tell her I said 'Hi'.

    Nicely done.

    No, way fewer, but in fairness to him he's been dead for over 50 years, served in the Navy in WWII, and was a gainfully employed civil servant when he passed...

    Would so tell you weren't there and have no right to make that call, were it not for the fact that Hicks rightfully took a short nap enroute.

    Good to know. What part of the investment spectrum should my 401k focus on?

    Has he lost weight? Cap mechanics have definitely taken a step forward: http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site569/2011/0308/20110308_091454_kevinSlowey_300.jpg

    Incur the wrath of the TD faithful AND contribute to the senseless deaths of a boatload of iPads? No thank you, sir.
