    Ok, argue away, I'm very interested.

    The board has been discussing Saunders for quite some time and the merits of signing him or not, this thread began with the news of his signing with the Mariners and subsequently evolved with various opinions on whether it was good or bad for the team, whether it mattered or not, why it mattered, how it represented a further failure and dishonesty from our FO and a host of other viewpoints. Then along comes Twerp, who had no opinion on the issue but does have one about people who are disappointed and disallusioned by yet another lost opportunity, and procedes to call them "the worst type of human being", so just a negative opinion on negative opinions. What exactly did the post contribute to the original subject? So, who began the bickering? Who decided to make things personal and insult people who are unhappy about it and somehow decide they are less than fans? Yet somehow the people who then respond to this garbage are the bad guys. If all those decrying the response to Twerps comments have such high standards for this board then let's at least direct the displeasure in the appropriate place.

    If you have testicles you shouldn't be able to hit C5, pitcher or catcher?
  6. twinsnorth49
    The initial post was completely void of knowledge or quantifiable subject matter, thus it deserved all the derision it deserved.

    http://www.forumsextreme.com/images2/sFi_slapfight.gif You guys are entertaining if nothing else.
  9. twinsnorth49
    I agree but that's an awful lot of mattering.
  10. twinsnorth49
    I have a really sinking feeling in general.
  11. twinsnorth49
    And it sucks that we're grouped with semi-illiterate neanderthals, call it a wash. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/mad/1335.gif
  12. twinsnorth49
    It's just too damn cold.
  13. twinsnorth49
    At least you're not prone to hyperbole.
  14. twinsnorth49
    It's a small sample granted and not likely to happen but I'd take his June 2012 as a bounce back point or even a reasonable facsimile of. I don't think his power is a fluke. Fielding........ well you've got me there.
  15. twinsnorth49
    Where exactly are you going with this and what does any of it have to do with how good a basebal player Joe Mauer is?
  16. twinsnorth49
    I wonder whatever became of "Jumpin" Jim Brunzell? ...............................wait, wrong Greg Gagne.
  17. twinsnorth49
    I get that, I think I'd still let Hammer take a rip though.
  18. twinsnorth49
    Sorry...my bad.
  19. twinsnorth49
    Or in games with Kevin Correia starting, Unreasonably unwatchable OK OK....sorry......http://www.forumsextreme.com/images2/sFun_DeadHorse.gif

    You started it http://www.forumsextreme.com/images2/sHa_hehe.gif

    One swing on 3-0 in three years was a bit stunning. I'll still take Joe's approach though, doesn't make a lot of outs and I still say he did the right thing in that Seattle game, got on base, didn't waste and out and made way for a guy who was slugging over 100 points higher than him.
  22. twinsnorth49
    The guy was yanked up and down like a yo-yo last year and spent weeks at a time on the bench when he did come back up. If you want to give up on him after last year's debacle, go ahead, it's pretty unfair in my view.
  23. twinsnorth49
    I think this is how it goes, I think we were reasonably not bad last year and not bad this year. Great Good Average Reasonably average Not Bad Reasonably not bad Reasonably not good Not good Bad

    Benson's 2012 year was just derailed by the injuries, it was a write off year, IMO . I believe Parmelee's issues with the ML team in '12 had more to do with his confused role on the team in his two stints. He was never allowed to get into much of a rythym and settlle in, I think his minor league success with Bruno will do him well with his upcoming regular role on the team this year, if they're smart enough to do that.

    While I agree that coaching, from a teaching perspective, is overated at this high a level, I think you underestimate the effect a good coach can have on a player's mental approach to the game. I think they can heavily influence that approach if they are effective communicators. By all accounts the players who have worked with Bruno and Cuellar have spoken very highly of them, that should translate at the ML level and hopefully bring more focus and discipline to a few players games.
