    The Twins have stopped me from attending a game but they haven't stopped me from buying beer.

    Zack Greinke: ?I could play for the worst team if they paid the most? | Big League Stew - Yahoo! Sports Obviously not everyone is like Greinke, but if there's one there's more than one that won't admit it.

    I never understand why people think Morneau would have this great interest in playing for the Jays because he's from Canada. His hometown and Toronto is about the same distance as Seattle and NYC.

    Per Trollpo when you're on a roll it's really just flat bread.

    Gardy (rubbing hand across quickly balding head): "I'm all out of clever things to say, so I turn it over to your Lord and Savior, Baby Jesus!" Mauer: (staring at floor and in a barely audible and mundane mumble): "Pour it on."

    But, get this, they want to stretch him out to see if he can be a starter. Pretty gutsy/stupid to try and do that to a guy that has never started a ML game and only managed 7 innings last year. The one thing he has going for him, however, is that his career splits don't scream out Brian Duensing. I always liked him coming out of the Indians pen. Hopefully at the very least he returns to form as a set up guy.

    AD's season was like if Mauer suddenly bats .400 with 40 homeruns.

    Why are people so optimistic about this team? The starting pitching will still be awful, the offense will be meh, they won't have a CF until May or June and expect him to learn on the job, and the bullpen has two reliable arms, not to mention the continuously eroding fundamentals by this team. I voted 60-69. I just have a hard time thinking this team is any better than the past two seasons.

    How can you rush a 25 year old?

    Mark Hamburger was my favorite.

    Congrats to Perk, but ugh for the Twins.

    Correia=Morris Florimon=Davis
  13. notoriousgod71
    OH snap. It seems like we've had this debate before!
  14. notoriousgod71
    Upgrade the team instead of the stadium, please.

    Kalil and Harrison Smith > Correia and Pelfrey Also Peterson's season is so off the charts that it would be like if Joe Mauer batted .400 with 40 HR.

    Ugueth Urbina will return to baseball after spending nearly six years in Venezuelan prison | Big League Stew - Yahoo! Sports The likelihood is this guy will never make it back to the big leagues, but if he did I think his intimidation factor went up a notch.

    FWIW, Bill James has Mauer's "HOF Score" at a 66, where 100 is a HOFer. I think the scores are somewhat low as he only has Miguel Cabrera at 96 and I would say he is a lock. Baseball reference's top comps for Mauer by age is Victor Martinez. The first name that came to mind for me was Bill Madlock, a guy with a bunch of batting titles but less than eye popping power and RBI numbers. This is a dankind-ish thing to say but at this point in his career Mauer would be a very underwhelming HOF candidate in my opinion. None of his accumulative numbers will likely scream out HOF, it will be his slash numbers and "new" stats like WAR, OPS+, etc. On the other hand there are a lot of what I would call mediocre players in the HOF already so if you want to compare Mauer to recent inductees Dawson and Blyleven I think he is a better player than them.

    Isn't Harden throwing in the low to mid 80s right now?
  19. notoriousgod71
    Diamond likely is fool's gold.
  20. notoriousgod71
    This is really an inspiring move.
  21. notoriousgod71
    Good luck signing a quality pitcher with that offer, JR.
  22. notoriousgod71
    Chad Gaudin and Aaron Cook seem more realistic.
  23. notoriousgod71
    Nice! Blackie pitches to an ERA over 10 twice in 2000 Coors Field!
  24. notoriousgod71
    So Livan is arguably the third best SP FA this franchise has signed in the last 20 years? To quote StatFreak: "Pathetic."
  25. notoriousgod71
    Do you have a link for this? That seems like it would be quite addicting.
