    flippin' .182 hitter; throw a BP fastball down the middle, he'll get himself out. He can't hit a 5 run homer

    Staying up for this from Rockledge, Florida - Go Twins (oh, yeah ... our guys did their part). Continue to suck, Tribe!

    wow ... White Sox announcers saying nice things about the Twins .... Dogs & Cats living together ....
  12. BD57
    How about "Don't Go Tribe"?
  13. BD57
    wow ... talk about locking a guy up.

    Dobnak has earned a shot at starting, IMO.

    I'll revoke the magic for Sano, if you'd like. Sano's interruptions last year strike me as "not injury related" - my opinion, that's all it is - so I don't particularly hold that against him - whereas the time he's missed this year was not "playing related." Buxton, meanwhile, has missed time this year on more than one occasion, all playing related, until he finally broke down. Sorry - based upon the track record, I think Sano is more likely to be a guy who gives us 140 games a year once he's "established," which, based upon his play this year, I think he's finally done. Buxton has yet to [a] show he can "hit enough" over the course of a year to get past "he's worth it for his glove alone" (and he's got to do more than that to be "really worth it"); and play a season without missing substantial time during the year because of "on field" injuries. I WANT Buck to do it, because if he does ... whoo boy, will he be a weapon!!!!!

    Thing is, what do we get from Buck's "position on the field' if he's only there for 1/2 of the season, vs. Sano if he's consistently out there for 140 games? Maybe I'm gun-shy, but until I see Buck put a couple of 130+ game seasons together, back to back, I'm going to have a hard time believing I can really "count on him" to contribute. And that's essentially the Question being posed - "Right now, knowing what we presently know .... which one would you put money on having more value?" If both have a run of 10 "healthy" years going forward - minor bumps & bruises only - then I think we're in for a heck of a ride, and there's a good chance we'll enjoy debating this topic, because it'll be like debating which is your "most favorite flavor of ice cream." Hope that's the case.

    Let's see ... Don't have much of anything. Everyone had a day off on Monday. Littell, Duffey, May, Stashak & Graterol all went an inning on Sunday; Duffey & Romo an inning the day before that. The most obvious explanation would be (a) I've just removed Jake as a precaution, which could mean "he's injured" . . . . I'm running out of guys to put out there at the beginning of a game if there's anything wrong with Jake, and Gibson's one of the guys we've done that with in the past; [a] it's "early enough" that I'd be inclined to keep him out here for more than an inning if he has anything; I'm hoping he has something, and I'd like to see him get some belief - because, again, my options are becoming more limited by the day otherwise; [c] it's the Tigers, not the Yankees; [d] bullpen's rested - I'll get him before he creates a problem, if there is a problem. I'd have been reluctant because I'm focused on turning "3" into "2" but if I think "Big Picture" I could see it.

    Can you tell me Buck is going to learn to stay healthy, play 130+ games a year, and get his BA up to, say, .275-.280? IMO, he needs to do those things to have long-term "big time" value; otherwise, he's a valuable piece who's "missing" way too often. If Sano's a 30-ish HR guy year in / year out for the next 5-10 years, he's going to be valuable, even if he winds up being a full time DH. While he still has holes in his swing & approach, he's definitely made progress this year - I think having Nelson Cruz around has been a godsend for him. Right now, I think "odds are" better on Sano, but only because Buck just keeps getting hurt.

    Sure would like to get some good news on the injury front .... I remember how good I thought the '06 team would be "post-season" in the middle of the year .... and then Liriano went out & Radke's arm went flooey .... Some good news please - let's get healthy.
  20. BD57
    OK, please - no screwing around with the 9th .... Score a touchdown & Gibson can have the 9th. Otherwise, someone else.
  21. BD57
    The Tigers regular BP pitcher was tired?
  22. BD57
    Gibson simply cannot be effective.
  23. BD57
    Get. Him. Now.
  24. BD57
    we're nibbling again ...
  25. BD57
    you can say a guy's "snakebit" - but some guys seem to be more "snakebit" than others ....
