Parmelee is evidently Doug Mientkiewicz. Also I loved the split screen of Deduno celebrating and praying. He is my favorite Twins player by far and I don't even care if he implodes.
Coomer says some outlandish things but his random fits of giggles after every comment are annoying, TK's mundane approach to everything puts me to sleep although I do appreciate that he calls Bremer "Richard". Smalley is just awful. I pray to God they never throw Laudner out there.
Honest question- which FA Twins pitcher signed since 1991 has had the highest expectations when we signed him? Or the best previous season? I'm at a loss... really.
That's the point. It really doesn't matter if you can field a lick if you're going to OPS 1.000 but when you're Delmon Young or Brian Buscher you're not long for an organization.
I disagree. Buscher had zero value. Thome was the best hitter on the team in 2010. The problem is when you sacrifice defense for sluggers that don't slug like Delmon, Doumit, and Plouffe.
It's actually quite impressive that the Sandlot actors are still in the stadium watching the game six and a half hours later. And looking like they're enjoying themselves too.
How about it's dumb that it's calculated in different ways since Punto is a 1.1 on BR and .9 on Fangraphs. What other stat just spews out random numbers like that? You don't have one place listing his OPS as .868 and another at .831. So I guess it goes back to the use of defensive metrics to determine a player's value and how flawed that is.
