I'd think that even with his poor start that Mauer would get a fan vote. Maybe today is when he starts turning things around and his poor start is a moot point? Here's to hoping anyway..

Everyone is disregarding the fact that it was in Singleton's best interest to take the contract from his previous off the field issues also.

Man its refreshing to look at a lineup and think... man that team can slug.

I actually would wonder if you could turn around and buy a different set of tickets for cheaper than what yours sold for and you could still make a net gain from it...

Interesting thread. A few thoughts: Don't you need to have a baseline of some sort with each guy - like mentioning or accounting for what the average k/9 for each guy would have been? Along the lines of what Brock kind of touched on - some of those older guys...the game was different back then. One other thing that immediately jumped out at me was, what are the ground ball %'s for all these guys? To further that statement, you can be a really good pitcher that conserves your pitches, gets weakly hit balls for outs, saves pitches, and go deeper into games. Maybe you don't pitch for strikeouts to allow you to go deeper in games, but when you need a K you can get one. Halladay especially always seemed like a really good example of that.

Point taken. I just wanted the portion clarified that you can't look at things starting today moving forward, but in the past and how we got to this point also. Agreed on preaching to the choir.

And why are Pelf and KC stopgaps? Where is the pitching rotation we have been able to "build" so we dont need them and Hughes and Nolasco and Deduno to fill out (or make up entirely, sans Gibson)? You comment on it like it starts today and moving forward with the guys in the minors. Where is the wave of players that should have already been built up in the past to be playing for us?

Look what we have "built" into our rotation this year from the previous years though.

Now that we mention it, the main page could use it too I think I am still used to BYTO having it. It's the little things, ya know?

Having some type of 'back to forum page' at the bottom of a thread would be useful instead of like you said, having to hit the back browser button or scroll back to the top.

Danny Santana's average is four times higher than Florimon's: .444 vs .109** **-sample size

Runners on 2nd and 3rd....no outs. Runners on 2nd and 3rd........two outs. well I cant wait to see how this ends.

Short, sweet, to the point:

Doesnt someone nee DFA'ed today for Matty G? Did I miss something?

So does Matty G play bass in the band Gardy is getting back together? Wait, did Bartlett play keyboard then? I'm all sorts of confused on what type of band this is supposed to be.
