Prielipp has great potential but he has yet to show an earned run average. that's even ready for AAA. Mr. festa also great potential but his and run average is hardly even ready for AAA. look at what it was at the major League level.

Maybe I say Abel is ready.

The thing with SWR is he'll have a few bad games. yes, but then he has these incredibly fantastic outings and they pull him after four innings. looking at September he was the best starting pitcher. the Minnesota twins had. Joe Ryan who had an incredible run average. his arm got tired so is Iran. run average went way up but it was still 3.42. overall, Richardson did not get tired in September. he got better so I look forward to a great season with him this year

very well said.

let's take a look at the players. all of them. anybody watch the MLB channel? they never talk about pricing cuz they're not allowed to. when someone gets a contract for super millions of dollars and it has gotten way out of hand years ago and gets worse then very few people can't afford to go to a game whether the team is winning or not. but you got Hollywood out there in Los Angeles and they can go crazy money over the tax thing and other teams. their whole salaries less than what they pay overage on the tax. players don't you realize when you make $100 million contract people have to pay for that with extraordinarily amounts of money. I don't know how the fan base hasn't just run from the ballparks because the players are really taken advantage of customers that pay them, especially Bryce Harper. this guy it's incredibly bad his attitude. then you've got probably most of the league would play for 20% as much money because that's more the money than they're probably going to make anywhere else and to get to play a game. there has to be some limits and this thing about wanting to change how long you are protected on the team that drafts you just 6 years. they want to change that to 3 years then nobody would be able to compete with the dodgers except three or four teams that needs to be extended to 8 years. we need to make it a feasible product for all to enjoy even the owners and it not be a money grab. you young people just don't understand this because you don't know when I went to ball games under 20 years old box seat was $4.50. this needs to be strongly discussed on the MLB channel and on all sports channels. not wow. look at that $700 million contract for 10 years. this kind of stuff has to stop and at 74 I'll never see another game but I have a big 70 in television and I can't see them all because they are still blacked out two teams and I'm a minimum of 5 hours to get to a ball game yet I'm blacked out in Baltimore and Washington. to slap the face of the fan like that for years now is despicable. instead of this walkout that's going to happen. why don't it be the fan walkout come September when all the races are going on. everybody walk out of the stadium. go ahead and go to the game in the first inning everybody leaves and nobody comes back until a proper contract is ratified.

swr was the best pitcher we had in September. he came in with a new pitch and he just did absolutely phenomenal did no one notice that? he had some injury time and he probably tried to pitch through it. a little lowering his era but this guy is top notch. as far as the fifth starter, I'm thinking they're going to pick Bradley. who has it been all that good but at the end of September he also was fantastic. Abel did as good as you can do against his old team. if that's how he's going to pitch in the future then have at it make him number five but he has no history of greatness like he did that game and neither does Bradley but Richardson has some great games. I'm thinking I'm going to want to try to be in front of the TV every time he gets on the mound. I find it to be an enormously entertaining and wonderful time, but most of you call me crazy. okay that's fine. since I live so far from Minnesota I look at the ticket prices except for this new $3 game thing and other stadiums being like this. also, everybody should boycott do not go my God $300 $900 to watch one baseball game anywhere is crazy.

Prielipp is having a really tough time staying on that mound for five or six innings or so meaning he just keeps getting injured. this looks more like a relief situation meaning you're not out there usually but one inning but maybe there could be a compromise and he could be a long reliever but a starter. I think his days are over for that. everything else said here was very good.

Abel

Very well said. they gave up a pretty good AAA guy for a catcher. Jackson who I understand doesn't hit very well and now they don't even need him.

what is the dipping a toe badge?

The talk of trades of any of us starting pitchers maybe they like it playing for Minnesota, but do you want to stay with a team that has such pitiful relief pictures. they could be in the lead by four or five runs in the 5th or sixth inning and they don't get a win that's going to happen all season. this is where the ownership knew they were selling off. any chance of a wedding season to pay off bills. this means they don't have the credibility to be owners. we are overgrown with outfielders but since no real good ones are left to sign. is it that somebody that needs an outfielder that could give up some relief fishing. they may not need so much? but the money is not going to be put up for it. nobody should show up the whole season really. I've been a follower of this organization since 1964. never seen anything this bad even when you consider the 103 lost season.
