No reason for Joe to ever catch again. Still owed $115m and he is the teams best player. There is no good reason to put him back in that position again where another foul ball could end his career. We need a first baseman he plays first just fine. If he was in the last year or two of his contract and we were a world series contender maybe you take the chance but not in the position we are in now, imo.
This is spot on. If they want to be cheap they need better scouts and front office people. Spending gives you a chance to cover up for not having that. Mackey seems to be in the pocket of the Twins. He goes along with the talking points for the day a lot and when he has Gardy or Ryan on it's mostly softball questions. Some people still seem to think that money not spent this year goes in the kitty for future years and it doesn't. That has been stated many times by Pohlad and the front office. Each year is a new year. Saving money now does not mean spending big down the road.
There should be an unwritten rule about watching this crap. Bert please throw a baseball at me and knock some sense into me! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sj3MKNbY4eI/T-qsmNWOnSI/AAAAAAAABUM/rhugjFeT1nA/s320/CaraEfectBlogMuter-MuterketikaPengunjungmasukkeBlog-Variasi-Blogger.jpg
" 4. Think about Ron Gardenhire... Just 5 wins from 1,000... Take that JOE!!!" 8. Think about Joe actually winning games in the playoffs and taking the Rays to the World Series, take that Gardy!
