    Having a guy hitting .220 leading off isn't ideal. And why have your #1 power hitter hitting 1st? I'd actually be OK moving him down even further, but I think either he or Mauer have to hit 2nd for lack of other options. That said, the biggest problem right now is that Plouffe, Collabello and Kubel are all slumping at the same time which is making the middle of the order a black hole.

    Or more likely, we're seeing what was feared in Spring Training. But it's time to change it up: Vs Righties: Fuld Dozier Mauer Kubel Plouffe Arcia (when back) Willingham (when back)/Colabello Pinto/Suzuki Escobar Vs. Lefties: Fuld Dozier Mauer Plouffe Willingham Collabello Pinto Suzuki Escobar

    Sadly true. Over/under on Florimon starts in the next 10 days is 5.5
  4. howeda7
    Exactly. A: He'll probably never be needed. B: The odds of him getting a career-altering concussion during the 2 innings he catches per year are only slightly larger than those that he might get hit by a bus leaving Target Field.

    Colabello's regression is already happening. I think the original plan of Kubel/Collabello platooning at DH is eventually the way to go. Hammer/Pinto/Suzuki/Collabello should play against lefties, Kubel/Arcia/Pinto and one of Collabello/Willlingham against righties.

    Deduno for Pelfrey now. Meyer for Corriea after 1-2 more starts.

    Did Escobar kill Gardy's dog? What does he have to do to get a shot at the job?
  8. howeda7
    Good try, good effort by Florimon. We just need to give him another 200-300 at bats to get going.
  9. howeda7
    Thanks Jim. As long as you put it towards that MLS team, all is forgiven. :shoot:
  10. howeda7
    I'd like to think Deduno going 4 tonight was stretching him out to start next week after Pelfrey craps the bed again tomorrow.
  11. howeda7
    Florimon strikes again.
  12. howeda7
    I think Mauer broke Price. He will crumble now.
  13. howeda7
    Didn't used to be. Could be now.
  14. howeda7
    NM. Wrong thread.
  15. howeda7
    I'm afraid most on this board are too young to get that...
  16. howeda7
    As bad as this has been for Gibson, if we catch a pop up, one run has scored so far.
  17. howeda7
    I'm so glad we're giving Florimon every chance to be the SS. His defense is just so spectacular.
  18. howeda7
    I normally stay out of Mauer-bashing threads, but I have to admit the strike-outs are officially a concern. Is there any chance it's a vision problem?
  19. howeda7
    Hicks was like '$%^ I knew you couldn't catch that.'
  20. howeda7
    Collabello needs to DH from now on period. Pinto should catch most days if they want him in the line-up. Even swapping him and Mauer would be an upgrade, but they'll never do that.
  21. howeda7
    How much longer do we have to be subjected to Florimon?
  22. howeda7
    I never thought I'd detest a Twins middle infielder more than Punto, but Florimon now takes it. Punto's 'heart' and defense were also over-rated, but at least he could make the all the routine plays.
  23. howeda7
    I've had it with Florimon. He can't hit, and his defense is over-rated. Turning that double-play is more important than whatever 'range' play he might make later.
  24. howeda7
    SS has been a black hole since 2007 with the exception of the Hardy year and they've done nothing to fix it. I don't give a flying $%^ about the money and I'm tired of hearing about the draft pick. If he'll still sign here for more than one year, do it.
  25. howeda7
    Weekday games in April, May and September have never drawn well and never will. If they have < 25,000 on Saturday or Sunday, that would be a bad sign.
