Anybody still miss Hunter?

[fishin58]

I do not miss him, looks like we have replaced his bat for sure and I dont think the opposing pitchers like him batting or on the basepaths. Now if he can pull out some key hits in the playoffs....

I am glad the Twins didnt give him that big cantract, he just isnt that good! Now I am not glad that he isnt here, just glad the Twins did what they did!

[fishin58]

Exactly, he knows how the Twins operate, and what we offered him was plenty fair, and he already has more money then he could ever spend. Tori just got greedy.

WHO ???

[SledNeck]

I miss Radke, The old Liriano, 2006 Santana, and #34

I miss Radke, The old Liriano, 2006 Santana, and #34

Ditto Especially the #34. No one will ever replace him!

[solbes]

Ahhh, 2006. Wasn't that a good time? Well... right up until the playoffs that is. Still, that team made for a memorable August and September.

[Maximum12]

C'mon, anyone with a brain and/or is paying attention misses him.

He wasn't worth the LENGTH of the contract, but anyone who says they "don't miss" a guy who's averaged 30HR & 100RBI the past two years on an offensively struggling team is thinking with their jock strap.

[fishin58]

He made the choice to leave not the Twins. Say what you will, but I will gladly pay Gomez His minimal salary and watch him mature the next 5 years. (Then hope his ego doesnt out grow the Twinks)

[tisosy11]

Yeah - Miss him, of course. We will be alright though and the twins aren't a team that will pay that type of contract.

Small Ball it!

[Mudcutter]

Hunter for the most part with the Twins was not clutch. Lots of K's with runners in scoring pos,, lots of DP's and many HR with no one on base and the game allready over.

I shouldn't have to mention his playoffs.

Glad he's gone,,, save for the one or two snags over the fence.

[Wookiee]

That's the only thing I will miss is the incredible plays in the outfield the best was when he robbed Bonds at the all star game.

[tisosy11]

I'm definately not glad hes gone, but i do like the outfield right now. Its young and the potential is amazing.

The only thing that disapoints me about the 3 main guys is they never ever go after homerun balls that are close. Thats what made Gomez going after Princes bomb on Saturday all the better...he nearly snagged it, plus almost gunned him down at 3rd. Really makes you think how good Hunter really was roaming that wall!

[blue_healer_guy]

Max 12 sums it up for me.
