    Take Dedunos stats in July and August, yes he was injured later and suffered statistically but in July and August he was our best pitcher
  2. freightmaster
    keep your stats, keep your pitchers, but we will be laughing stock of league again, if Deduno is in Rotation, we will have a chance to win every time he pitches, is there a stat for that?
  3. freightmaster
    SD will never be a reliever for the all the reasons stated above.....

    DOMINICAN WINTER LEAGUE Player of the Week – Samuel Deduno, RHP Deduno made one start this week. The right-hander threw six shutout innings. He gave up just four hits, walked one and struckout nine. In 20.2 innings so far in the DWL, he has given up no runs on 13 hits. He’s walked nine, but he has struckout 26.
  5. freightmaster
    yes he had an eye problem and hid it, if you havent seen how well he is doing in WInter ball, what sources are you searching, try Seth Stohs

    ;but lets hear from the guy who knows the most about his pitching...his catcher Doumit “He fits the mold of an effectively wild pitcher,” continued Doumit. “He’s always going to be like that.“He’s always going to be a high-walk, high-strikeout kind of guy, but if he can harness it, you don’t see too many pitchers with natural movement like that, and it’s a testament to him.”

    the problem is, he is virtually uncatchable, but if Im the twins, I find a way to solve those problems,

    Did you guys watch the same Sam Deduno I did? This guy is dominant, has phenomenal stuff, yes he is going to walk lots of people, but this also makes him virtually unhittable....the real problem with Deduno is that he might also be uncatchable, I know the catchers hate to catch him, that is a GREAT! sign... Get over yourselves...Deduno does not fit the mold of the "Traditional" pitcher and there in lies the problem, the Twins staff and evidently fans, get hung up on the traditional but you can not apply that to Deduno...he is not tradiional...the guy is a great pitcher who can beat anybody, anytime, and he can lose to anybody anytime too..I get that... Lets not make the same mistake we made with Cy Knuckles...ok? Deduno is better than any pitcher we have added with the possible exception of Worley who has major question marks...if we are not going to compete in 2013 let Deduno work out the kinks, the most exciting pitcher in baseball This quote just kills me, " It was quite clear last year that none of those players had what it took to start in the majors" Go back and watch Deduno dominate and then tell me this again.

    Front Line Starter, Top Prospect and Ellsbury....cya joe, has anybody thought the Twins might trade Mauer as a favor to Mauer?

    Can someone please give in depth analysis?

    Ever heard of the Yankees?
  14. freightmaster
    Deduno might have the best stuff in baseball. You have to be willing to take the walks with the performance, but no thats way too thinky for the twins...he is better right now than every starter but Diamond and has better stuff...but the twins will botch this too

    I was hoping the above poster was going to comment on your podcast, I dont know what your goals for the podcast are, I used to enjoy the podcast but now that you are off the radio, you dont seem to take it seriously, one more like the last and I for one will not listen again

    No, never.....from that comment, I assume you have, please enlighten me, I know I can be wrong and am bad about forming first impressions, so if you know diffferently, please lay it out

    Does anybody need competition more than Trevor Plouffe? Anybody else struggling like he is, would not be playing. I know this wont happen, but I would love to see the Twins bring up D Romero from New Britain and let Plouffe watch a lot of baseball. Plouffe seems very arrogant to me, like it doesnt matter, he has the thumb injury to blame it on...just wait until he recovers....and wait...and wait.... Sit him please, he needs a major attitude adjustment!

    I had great anticipation when Slama was called up, the truth is, he looked terrible, easy to hit, and just looked over matched. I know what the numbers are, but the twins are convinced that he can not duplicate in the Bigs, I hope he gets picked up in Rule #5 but if he does not, there is a reason

    I was afraid Gardenhire and Anderson would fool with Deduno, and it looks like it happened. Deduno looked nothing like his former self in his previous start. Why? My bet is, that Gardy and Andy just could not stand a guy they see as so atypical, "you can't walk that many batters and be successful, Andy...." Hey guys, look a guy you passed on might be the Cy Young in the NL...same reason.. You have to allow Deduno to be what he is....a pitcher with wicked stuff..some of the best in baseballl...but the "braintrust" will never allow him to continue...this way, so fool with his head..and ruin him...I will take the walks..but never in Minnesota..will the be allowed...bye, bye Gardy..your team quit on you..

    1-Slama was completely lost with the Twins, seemingly justifying their evalution, AND...if he is such a great prospect, why arent other teams trying to pry him away from the Twins? Seems an ideal trade chip, but I dont think his name comes up very often
  24. freightmaster
    The team has quit on him, his shelf life is over date, yes, fine manager for years, but the returning team will not play for him. Lets get piss and vinegar in here..and work this teams ...... off....
