Really? You write a whole article about Rick Dempsey & nary a mention of his rain delay antics?
-
So the return for "the biggest success story on this list", four years after trading him is two guys who remain parked on the wrong side of the river. Got it.

Not to mention, has there been a Twin, other than Sano since Kirby retired, that made you stop whatever else you might have been doing when he came to the plate, turn off the lawn mower, stop doing the dishes, the laundry can wait, put the broom down, turn off the power saw, stop working on the car, let the kid cry, the guy might strike out but he also might hit it 498 feet and ya gotta see that.

I'm appalled. That you can write an entire article about Kodys with a K playing for the Twins and nary a mention of the word Funderburk. Classless and irresponsible journalism. Could have even thrown in a paragraph about the original Funder for the Twins, Mark Funderburk, the first player ever to hit two home runs in the same inning in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.

How many $20 Million first basemen are out there who can mash and play solid defense AND still be worth $20 Million by the end of the lengthy multi-year contract that a $20 Million first baseman is going to command?
-
How does THAT work out for you
-
who said anything about HOPING a Twins player gets injured. My point was / is that if you continue to coddle them they will end up being Matt Canterino
-
Suffice to say they've gotten more out of him than 90% of the articles and comments on this site prior to the season thought they would. I'm sensing a trend. Donovan Solano, Carlos Santana, France. It's almost like they know what they're doing.
-
There hasn't been a pitcher throw a hundred and half pitches at any level of baseball since your grandmother was in the big leagues.
-
Wanna bet he ends up there anyway?
-
You're probably right. It's not like his resume or career body of work is screaming can't miss. But he MIGHT be a fun story for a bit.
-
Even guys who debut at 26 don't tend to have long illustrious careers.
-
Feels like every pitcher in the minors has had multiple serious arm injuries. Might be from being coddled. If they don't want to throw the damn ball pick up a first baseman's mitt.

How many dead pitchers are turning over in their graves when they hear about a 50 pitch limit?

If McKusker is something more than a AAAA guy he'll get enough opportunity to show it. But, yes, he'll have to take advantage of that opportunity. This is a team that gave Dobnak, a fellow undrafted college graduate lots of leash so I'm sure they'll do the same with a guy with a good power tool. But 27 year old rookies have to shine early. That's just the nature of the game.

Be careful. You almost sound positive about management. Don't want that.

similar career path. hope this one works out better
-
When Ryan went down last year, the Twins had three of the top 12 starters in the AL.
-
I checked the calendar. It's NOT last season.
-
Randy Dobnak?
-
Maybe Berrios wanted to test the waters because we hadn't yet offered the deal the Toronto ultimately did. I can find a whole bunch of MAGAts who will tell you the the Twin Cities are VERY diverse.
-
Always amazed that every Twins fan "assumes" we wouldn't have signed Berrios. Could easily have afforded the deal he signed in Toronto. But, sure, we're four years out and the return is still toiling away in AAA, but, yeah, there gonna hit. Absolutely. or not
-
Feels like we're back to not much return for the best starting pitcher we had developed in a generation.
