    They do not make rookie unknowns good ball players either.
  2. RpR
    I am not justifiying anything; saying Player x, y, or z should not be playing because you or any one thinks some one else should be playing , does not justify that he should be playing either. It is simple opinion.
  3. RpR
    His/their talent is as good as the Twins managers see it to be, not you. They know what he/they have shown they can or cannot do, you or those manager wannabes on the forum do not.

    Ones baseball talent brings promotion and playing time, or lack thereof; this is not grade school fairness, every one plays regardless of ability.
  5. RpR
    Opportunity leads to both success and failure; lack of enough talent means failure. Nothing blocked their opportunity, they are already in professional baseball, nothing stops them moving foreward but themselves.
  6. RpR
    They had Billy Martin.
  7. RpR
    The only thing that blocks any rookie is lack of talent, end of story. I will give the Twins Front Office , they do not treat the player like commodities for money; players go as far as their abilities take them, they are not dumped out like yesterdays trash.

    Julien's glove work is atrocious, as bad or worse than Polanco was at SS, and Polanco was listed among the worst SS ever by the baseball "experts" in a list of worst ever.
  9. RpR
    Selling known attributes for Pie-in-the-Sky wannabes, that would be foolish.
  10. RpR
    Good question. His number were not that bad, although Ks were up. It seems the day he was traded from the Twins, his fire went out.
  11. RpR
    One good game, over all, his numbers offense and defese are down or not improving from where he once was. He is not the best,
  12. RpR
    Kansas City stomped Tampa Bay today, do not disregard these victories as gimmes.
  13. RpR
    Probably Wallner; right now Julien's bat is keeping him up.
  14. RpR
    The scorers have been as extremely forgiving as some of the posters here; Julien should have a goodly larger number of errors than they scored. He has a lead glove and is a detriment at 2nd, send Buxton to IL and play Julien as DH.
  15. RpR
    Taylor's back awakens
  16. RpR
    It seems with this ump. if the ball is near the top of the strike zone, he must mentally flip a coin in his head as to whether or not it is a strike or ball.
  17. RpR
    If they can get Julien to get rid of his lead glove , he has a bright future.
  18. RpR
    Should not be.

    My error, I should have said re-treads from two years ago, but where are Acher, Bundy, Smeltzer, Duffey, plus I said AND SUCH, read every word. i stand by what I said. Pie in the Sky rookies at any position is a crap-shoot, and the fans will boo them, even louder than they did in the last game. Minnesota has become another New York, they boo like little children and I wonder how the rookies will deal with booing.
  21. RpR
    Here are the Saints at this point.
  22. RpR
    If they want to bring up a AAA dude who is doing real well Stevenson is better than any of those named, BUT, he plays Center Field and we have Center Fielders. Those who say Kepler should play Center Field, he was about as error prone there as Wallner is in Right Field now, which is probably why he does not play there.

    I am glad you mentioned that to him,; some years back another person on a garden site mentioned it but I had totally forgotten. Dedicated nurserys in St. Cloud or Hutch area are fading to maybe one eigth of what once was and so many now have same poo, differnt location. I used to go to Bachman's on 55 and hit one jin Zimmerman a couple of years back but I need to find different ones. Thank you.
  24. RpR
    Hmm, I am heading down to my garden in Hutch later today. Good soil down there but last years drought was SOB on its best days. Corn, at least some is shoulder high alread; turkeys did not stomp corn over this year. Potato bugs are back, I usually pick and squash them but did not have time last week.
  25. RpR
    I was writing about last years pitchers and such;. Money problems would come from empty stands just like the seventies when all the rookies simply did not play well enough to enthuse the fans to buy tickets like they did for gents of the sixties and tickets were cheap back then as was the food. Que sera, sera.
