Almost 2 weeks into the season and Young has the second highest batting average on the team. WOW

At .346, who'd of guessed? He's still scary in the outfield.

Its great to see he doing well I will be the first to say I had my doubts on him. To me it seem like he is more comfortable with the team actually having fun. Hope that bat of his stays hot, and not to many fly balls go his way. Im still hesidant on his fielding/throwing.

You're starting to sound like Sled!..LOL!

Nice thing about Majeres struggling right now, like ALL relief pitchers do at sometime or another is Dunseng and Mayhey can do the job until Majeres regains is ALL Star form of last year!

Tough day for the Punto haters also... grin

Its tough to hate a guy that comes to play everyday (Punto). Yes the batting average is nothing to get excited about... ever. But he will not hurt you in the field and if ever needed could play 2nd or Short as well. It also seems like about 1 in every 10 games Punto really has a nice day at the plate (explains that ~200 avg.) I can't hate a guy who works hard and plays the game the way he does. What he lacks in talent he makes up for in heart!

The throw was a bit off but Mauer bailed him out so all is well.

I think thats funny, pier. I also think it is funny he has our only error this year, coming off a throw to mauer that glances of the foot of the runner, a pretty dam good throw but it was "off a bit". Hard to throw down the middle of the plate for 200 feet.

Just trying to defend punto here, but if you look at the last 5 years (since he's gotten 300 ABs or more), he hit .280+ every other year which is in my books a great BA, especially for a guy in the 9th spot. And the best part about it is he's due for a good season this year again wink

2005 .237

2006 .290

2007 .210

2008 .284

2009 .228

This is how I rate Delmon:

Normal fly Ball - Excellant (Should be)

Gap fly ball - OK

Short fly ball - OK

Wall/warning track fly ball - Oh-oh (He's afraid of all walls)

Line Drive - Freezes like a deer in the head lights.

Horrible rating. Sorry. Even on a routine fly ball I have seen him stop 2 feet short and let it fall at his shoes. The other fly ball ratings you gave him are way off as well. His defense is among the worst I have ever seen out of a major leaguer. But his bats come around, so I guess I will put up with it another year. He has some of the most OF assists for a reason, it isn't people running on him and him gunning them out. Yes, he has done that a couple times. It is people having to stand on their base and waiting to tag then the ball falls in and he throws them out

Defense is greatly Improved this season among other things like attitude and the great physical shape he showed up in!

But IMO the biggest change for Delmon is his plate patience so far. He has gone from having the worst Strike-out to walk ratio in the league to a pretty decent one and like it or not folks he's on his way to being a pretty darn good all around player!

Delmon should play every day. He can show the other fielders how to not let flies drop infront of them..................

That play last night between Span and Cuddyer happens alot. My guess is both were calling for it, then they each heard footsteps and backed off. If it weren't for that, either would have had it pretty easily.

They need to stop putting Kubel in the line up against righties.

It's tough having Kubes in the field he's our worst out-fielder by a large margin.

And truthfully as scary as Delmon can be in the field he is better at running catches than Kubes by a long shot.

Hmmm... I can't get behind that statement. A "large margin" is a stretch... I'm not saying Kubel will ever be a Span or Cuddyer out there, but he has had some nice plays, no errors, and I don't think he has missed any plays in left the Delmon would have gotten (in other words, he didn't miss a put out or assist that Young would have converted). Young is faster, granted, but I don't think there is a big gap between him and Kubel, IMO.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
