    I would say yes, but since Gardy didn't let him complete that game... it's going to take an extra year.
  2. Boom Boom
    So you're saying they should have put a roof on it?

    I don't think anybody is championing Escobar or Nunez as better than Florimon defensively. The reason Florimon is starting is that the Twins don't have any shortstops that can play on both sides of the ball. There's also a reason Florimon was available to be picked up on waivers for nothing.

    The bunting thing... ugh. It's one thing if you're a player that can effectively bunt for hits, but no AL team should have a hitter in their lineup whose best offensive contribution is a sacrifice bunt. I could go on about how much I hate the sac bunt in the American League... but that's a different blog.

    The slash line that P-Flo put up last year was below acceptable in my opinion. I would have replaced him then if there was any kind of alternative, but the Twins didn't (and still don't) have any alternatives.
  7. Boom Boom
    It's sad that we have to choose. Florimon isn't going to hit .000, and Nunez isn't going to butcher every play. The reality is probably pretty close to even.
  8. Boom Boom
    Maybe Hicks could play a little deeper.

    A) Florimon operates a center that cares for sick and injured chiropterans; Florimon was impressive in his audition to play Batman in the next movie; C) That's Dan Gladden for you.

    If everything breaks right for Gibson, I think he could be very similar to Justin Masterson. Not an ace, but maybe a good #2.
  11. Boom Boom
    I'd wait until he proves he can put up a decent OBP.
  12. Boom Boom
    Still not a big Deduno fan, but he's one of the best five starters on the team. I like that Gibson is in the rotation, because I believe it's got to be sink-or-swim time with him. More time in the minors is not what he needs. It's the Pelfrey signing that has pushed Deduno into the bullpen, IMO.
  13. Boom Boom
    Pelf will be OK once he completely recovers from TJ surgery.
  14. Boom Boom
    Just saw that... Great choice by CBS... but I'm going to miss the political satire of the Report.

    I don't care about the money. If it starts hindering the team from bringing in better talent, or if it has already, that's the fault of the owners. I just want to see Mauer be more aggressive at the plate. When he gets a belt-high fastball for the first pitch, take a hack at it. When there's two runners on and the team is down by three in extra innings, swing. Don't leave it up to the next guy, because the next guy (no matter which guy it is) is a worse hitter than Mauer. I don't think that's asking too much.
  16. Boom Boom
    It's not anybody on the team's strong suit. The last three years the Twins baserunning as a team has been terrible. I guess Molitor's coaching hasn't sunk in yet.

    I think Hughesey would do a lot better if he got out of the Twin Cities media meat-grinder and the bandbox that is Target Field.

    I think you hit on it here: "...unless other players around him in the batting order are the ones stepping up, he may not have the means to make a profound impact on this club's run production." He's the one superstar player on the team, and he isn't the kind of hitter that's going to make a big impact on his own. His hitting style is complementary, when the team needs more hitters that are supplementary. His contract and the team's promotion of him as "face of the franchise" rings hollow when there aren't run-producers to make his offensive contributions count. It reminds me of The Bunt... Mauer said afterwards he was trying to make an RBI opportunity for Kubel who was on deck. But Kubel isn't supposed to be The Guy... Mauer is supposed to be The Guy.

    "Boom Bsy" I think it's pronounced "Boom Beezy".
  21. Boom Boom
    I'm happy for the guy. He'll do great as long as he can keep up that .500 BABIP.
  22. Boom Boom
    Nice to know the Twins aren't the only ones who can play a laughable inning in the field. Due up for the Sox: Howard, Fine, and Howard.
  23. Boom Boom
    The White Sox are really scrambling to get Escobar out. It must be because they were preparing for Florimon and got bamboozled by Gardy's "typo" on the lineup card.
  24. Boom Boom
    From what I'm seeing on Gameday, I'm a little concerned about Hughsie's Nasty Factor.
  25. Boom Boom
    Bartlett > Bonifacio (at chemistry).
