I have seen him pitching with the twins one of his good games and he gets taken out. it's like you doing a great job at something and then you get replaced. while you're doing a great job. the guy had his high walk rate in the beginning. I'm sitting there. you keep putting the ball 6 in off the plputting the ball 6 in off the plate every pitch. he couldn't get it moved over but then he did and even with it how I walk right. he ends up with a 3.34 era. his earned run average was one of the best we had on the mound and he got sent to AAA something I don't know here. his injuries the history of that was pretty astute. you could see you were gaining a possible great player, but as the twins seem to do all the time, we'll take a chance we can develop this and he won't be injured anymore. when does that ever happen? some guys make improvements like Kremer A young man with a great attitude. I thought it was going to be a bust but he did good. but still there's the injury side of Rojas and being so young having these injuries like he does. if some physical therapist doesn't get him straight, he's not going to last as a major league player. everything going well? I see a superstar somebody that's fun to watch, make you want to turn that TV on. but you should not give away somebody like varland for a guy who has a known history of issues physically.

clemmons is a very good player. you can put all over the field and he'll do well with defense everywhere. put his bat in average I think was .236 maybe? hopefully a major league baseball team's improved player will hit better than that.

festa has yet to have a good season. here's her and run over just high. it's not Major League level as of yet, but his potential looks good.

I did not mean to insinuate that Bell should be the MVP. I was just saying nobody's even considering the guy and when you have 96 RBIs well batting 5th something like that you're not going to be the leader in run scored but he's batting in those runs. I have not seen festa have very many good games. he continues to have a very high era so he's not ready to be a rotation piece injuries aside. Keaschel is fantastic. in the outfield buxton's still going to be playing center? yes I think Keaschell should move to left. then you have Jenkins in right field and Rolen needs to to see what he can do at first base. when it comes to Rodriguez, he's not a major league hitter yet so he will not be one of the three starters but has to make the team. you can't let go potential like that. Diaw might I'm not sure be the choice for the second catcher without Jeffers. I like ober as a long relief guy, not a starter. I foresee Jenkins and Buxton if these two pronged injury people can play the whole season. 80 rbis each. I don't think trading any of the starting pitching is a good idea. hopefully Houston can come up sometime during the season. moving Culpeper to second base where I think he will do better. but I say that reluctantly you can boot a ball at second just as easy as you can at short. he looks very major league ready at the plate. you get all these guys together in 27. get some time under the belt then 28. the twins could be looking really good, not just so so players. Abel if he comes back being well, he's going to show MLB how to be a true left-handed pitcher. it's going to be incredible. then you have Lopez. Ryan Bradley number 5 anybody. lots of choices but I don't think Matthews is one of them. when it comes to DH to go out and get 100 RBI guy it's going to cost a lot of money and maybe Bell can do an 80 RBI season making it worth what he's being paid. lots of people trying to get those defensive positions in the infield so let him just DH.

Josh Bell received one vote. I thought the object of the game was to score runs. now somebody will write back. well there's a lot more to it than just scoring runs. you have defense. he doesn't play defense. he put 96 runs on the board. I'm not sure but I think second to that was 81. most valuable player is Josh Bell and please sign him for next year because this team's not going to replace 96 runs batted in that easy.

also, let's not forget those 50 stolen bases. That's 50. wow.

That's Guerrero move to first base and evidently he didn't do very well with his offense. evidently rhoden has played some first base, but first base is usually a power hitter of which we don't have any of those types to me. that means plus 30 home runs. of course Buxton would do that if he could play.

what was the problem with Arcia? I saw a 300 batting average gets sent down. I didn't think his defense was all that bad. no I think he got released and then he wasn't picked up. so maybe I'm just stupid since nobody wanted him. caratini I thought played pretty good first base but he can't hit very well and when you look at him statistically how do we give that $7 million and then be willing to do it 2 years in a row?

Absolutely

we could have Houston at shortstop Culpeper at third base Arraez at second. I would be excited to watch the game every single day. would bring some decent pitching and Clemens the same. these are above average players so you just you can hold out for a decent return. A lot is expected of Lee next year. be kind of hard to give up on that. does anybody care to say what type of pitching could be acquired or a first baseman?

thank you for clarifying

Ron Gardenhire said at an all star looking around I see 7 guys that were with us.

Falvey sat in the booth during a game saying we love Varland but it was an offer we couldn't refuse. How did we let this guy have the job for 10 years

sands just isn't what he was, which you know happens and can't say for sure but I just don't think he's going to be because he wasn't there that long where he was doing well. Funderburk suddenly found it in the second half. you know his wife has been sick. looks like a very nice family. he's somehow pitched through that and did well. I say he's a keeper. Matthews might transfer to closing since he's non-predictable when he's starting from one extreme to the other. Bedner is one of those star closers? so if we have $60 million for 3 years something like that? honestly I take the twins point of view when it comes to closing pictures. not going to put money like that out there. and there are some in-house players who could switch from starting to relieving like Rojas. just get the ball over the plate. well that could exciting or run to the hills. hopefully he can get it in order. I mean I think the kid is fantastic. baseball talk is kind of fun because lots of differences of opinions.

I think last time the players wanted to move the 6-year thing to 3 years with the club that drafted you and his response was highly correct. that would kill any chance of a low-market team ever to be a winning team. unless you are Tampa maybe they could. what that says to me the players generally don't have a home team persona. loyalty well if you're Joe mauer that's loyalty and he's not the only one but most of them just aren't
