nofishfisherman Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'll take Cuddy's $7.6 million and his current .270 average and 18 RBIS versus Ordonez's $18+ million contract and his .241 average and 11 RBI's so far this season.Thats got to be a tough check for Detroit to write for a .240 average.

SledNeck Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Bottom of the ninth, down by one, man on third, two outs. Delmon or Cuddyer? I would take Cuddyer. Id take delmon cause he has a higher batting avg and Cuddy is the worst clutch hitter in twins history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greebs Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Bottom of the ninth, down by one, man on third, two outs. Delmon or Cuddyer? I would take Cuddyer. This week I'd take Cuddy but that could change by next week. Frankly though I'd rather not have either one of these two up with the game on the line, especially if the other team's closer is right handed. If the closer is right handed, I can think of many other players on the roster that I'd rather have up to bat(maurer, span, morneau, buscher, kubel and the catcher they recently sent down to aaa to name a few). If the opposing closer is a lefty, then Cuddy might crack the top five on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless Carl Pohlad and the best business model in professional sports! Go Cuddy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW- great play just 5 minutes ago here in the first inning in the OF by Delmon. What a chump. Can't even catch a fly ball- pathetic. Oh, and why not lollygag to the fence to pick up the ball that you just misplayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the imitation cuddy that was playing so well has left town and the real cuddy is back with the team so I guess give me delmon. was his highlight of the week his fake hit by pitch at bat against the tigers? It worked out but hard to believe that a guy who is supposedly one our leaders would choose to basically weasel out and defer his at bat so some else (crede) can get the job done instead.

SledNeck Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Cuddy is looking silly at the plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Crichton Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Cuddy is coming around nicely. I can see 20-25 dingers and 80-100 RBIS, and a .280 average. G.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Cuddy is looking silly at the plate Compared to Delmon looking silly at the dish, in the OF, in the dugout, in the clubhouse, at McDonalds, Baskin Robbins, at the mall, etc? Sorry, Sled, whenever I see him, he looks like he don't have any idea whats going on around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofishfisherman Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The way Cuddy has been playing lately I would say he's earning his money. As long as they can keep him away from playing first base. He's on pace for a very nice season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledNeck Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 How can he still be batting only .259? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These numbers that you can see would be be good for the team and since they would be about as good as his best year, I'd say he earned his salary this season if gets these numbers. He's going to have to pick it up a bit to get all these numbers though, especially the batting avg. Projections for full season look to be about .259 avg, 20 hr's, and 87 rbi's. Now if we could just get him to be a little better in situations where we really need him that would even be better. Garbage time stats look good on paper but don't help the team out a whole lot.

SledNeck Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thats a great point about the garbage time stats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 4 for 6, 3 RBIs and a dinger. Bench him right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 BTW, you guys can say all you want about him not being a clutch hitter, I would much rather have him at the dish than Go Go in a clutch situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 How can he still be batting only .259? Because he's not hitting .259 closer to .270 He was 4-6 with a 3 run dong and 4 runs scored today. He's on fire again but thats Cuddy hot or cold seems to be his moto. Good Points Gary. Cuddys on Pace for 24 HR's and 100 RBI. I'll see if I can dig up some more Crow for these guys later Tonight!

Gary Crichton Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Now you want to create a "garbage" avg for the books. I don't care how big the score, you still have to hit the ball whether its 1-0 or 20-0. Sled he is now hitting .275 Oh ya I forgot, that is a garbage avg. my bad NOT.....G.C.

Sled he is now hitting .275 Oh ya I forgot, that is a garbage avg. my bad NOT.....G.C. True but we need those hits more in the 1 - 0 games than we do in the 20 - 1 games. (The twins have outscored their opponents cumulative the last seven games but the w/l record is 1 - 6.) It's too bad the whole team couldn't have spared a few of todays runs and used them against the yankees and the first two games against the sox. Here's to hoping that today gets them out of their funk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
