JJ Hardy and Lou Ford

[Musky Buck]

Any love for these former twins or thoughts on if you think Baltimore can get in ? I know JJ has never been known for batting average but his 2 blasts the other night were key to them winning and his steady D is valued. How did Lou end up back on American soil and in Baltimore ?

the orioles are a great story but they're a baseball anomaly. for a team to be in first in the AL east while giving up more runs than runs scored is what makes the game great.

I like to think the Twins had a hand in Baltimore's success early in the season, by imploding.

[Musky Buck]

They did Kyhl, I remember that series, when I think of Baltimore and when you do, do you picture Cal Ripken running around high fiving fans after he broke the durability record or his blast in the all-star game ? Any Lou Ford info lol ?

How bout RA Dickey and Kyle Lohse.

We didn't need them.

[Musky Buck]

Right on glad Rick Anderson didn't tell RA to throw that knuckler harder so it becomes tougher to hit with sharper movements to it. On a way different note, I'll post it as a new thread. Cmon Baltimore, I'm tired of Yankee post-season talk by Buck and McCarver, need a hungry new team to represent.

Just won the gold glove! Good job twins

[Musky Buck]

Yes, great idea to trade away 1 of Mauer's best friends and former roommate from years back, we're still trying to find a SS. He's just a solid type ballplayer, remember Guzman, Juan Castro, Adam Everett, and theres others, we finally get a B+ guy again and goodbye.

[Musky Buck]

actually not trade really didn't they just let him kinda test the market ?

[CFRay]

Hardy got to Baltimore in a trade. I do not think that what we got in return is on either the major or minor rosters any more. He got to the Twins for Gomez, who got here as part of Santana trade.

Right on, I liked JJ because his big home run year in Milwaukee I had him as my 9th roung pick 189th overall and won our 20 team homerun derby lol. Watching the Adam Everett's and Jamie Carroll's of the world I sure miss the guy and the potential that's in his bat, his glove needs no questioning.

[Musky Buck]

just checked 179th overall, what a steal eh ? JJ likes that short left field in Baltimore, he was never a guy to go the other way deep, good luck in the deer stand JJ !
