Delmon's contract info:

2009: Near Minimum, 2010-12: Arb. Eligible, 2013: Free Agent

This guy should be a .280-300 hitter with 20 HR's someday. I think he may yet get there, he's only 23. To get there he needs a starting role. Can't sit Span, and it would be silly to sit Cuddy with his power and $8 mil salary. So that either leaves sitting Gomez, trading Cuddy, or trading Young. Tough call!

He's going to be a very good DH somewhere down the road. I guess you could try and hide him in right field but I just don't see it as an option at this point. Kubels stellar play particularly against left handed pitching has really hurt Delmons chances to get more playing time.

It's not Gardy's fault he can't be trusted in the outfield. For instance the routine catch he made the other night that almost got over his head and would have cost us the game.

Thats was a huge hit for him and the Twins hopefully we can feed off that and play some good baseball down the stretch!

I've really come around on Kub's over the last two years. I think we've got our future DH now, assuming he stays healthy. Besides, he's already the .300 20 HR guy that Delmon could be. If Kubel could just hit right handers, he'd be one of the elite DH's in the league.

That being said, we're still where we were with Young.

What is it with that stutter step run of his?

It almost seems like he has a potato chip stuck in his backside and doesn't want it to break.

Any you johnsons gonna chew on some Crow, some of us have happily chewed on some for the Vaunted Cuddles. Nows your chance to.....Delmon finishes with a .285 batting average and 60 RBI's. Too bad it takes an injury in the second half to get Delmon full time pt.

There's going to be a point in his career where he realizes he needs to give 100% every outing in order to stay in the lineup. Something tells me he has just realized this. I say he keeps his starting job next year and does not give it up.

I think he could be that .280 to .300 hitter with 20-25 hr's. We could all breathe a little easier about that trade if he could get there.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
