Another Delmon Rant

[UdeLakeTom]

One of the Sunday morning talk shows discussed his situation, and basically said the same thing. It's his job coming out of spring training, Span in center, and Cuddy in right.

Delmon has to lose the job, not be put in occasionally and see what happens.

So you still wont give the guy full credit, most people are not spot starters. You guys talk about post all-star break like its his fault. He pretty much has had to wait for a season ending injury for him to get constant playing time. Also he started well and then his Mom passed away and he had a rough couple months mix that in with spot starts and he still didnt have do that bad.

Also for the the record, Cuddles had 583 ab's to Delmons 390.........

whats gonna happen is after he leaves our team hes gonna hit 30 dingers and knock in 100 rbi isnt that what usually happens to us?

I have said this since day 1. I think Young is full of Talent. He Has a great bat. But I also think he is one of the worst defensive outfielders in MLB. Yes he does make the ave play out their but Nothing Great. He seems so lazy.

I would rather see him as a DH and put kubel in the field. Eitherway, Hopefully he will keep his bat going along with cuddy, and hopefully Mauer will start to get into it and get a few hits.

Hey Delmon has stepped up and starting doing what the Twins expected him to do. He should have gotten hit in the calf a couple of months ago. He is on fire, but this weekend was a TEAM effort. Everyone contributed. Keep it up Delmon. Congrats on a good series and a nice couple of weeks.

they should stick cuddy at 3rd keep delmon out there see what happens

I don't see that happening this year but the idea has merit. May be something to try in spring training next year and see how it works out.

Nobodys ever questioned Delmonds natural talent as a hitter it's the rest of his game "total package" that put him in the spot duty role he's had to deal with this season.

I doubt it will happen but I'd like to see him play winter ball somewhere. He has to improve every facet of his game, defense being number one, attitude, and selective hitting. It's impossible to have 90 strike-outs and only 11 walks it can't and never has happened in MLB, ever.

Like I said last week before his MONSTER series he's been awesome and his miscues in the feild have more than been taken care of by his hot bat!

Props to Delmon! maybe we can hide him in left feild next year lets hope so!

His D does need to improve, but he is not as bad as some people like to paint. His attitude, has toed the line since he has got here. So I dont know ho that is even brought up any more?

[PierBridge]

Toed the line?

He was going to KILL one of his own players LIVE on National TV...

Go Delmon!

I wish he would have broke Mijares arm so we wouldnt have to worry about him pitching in tues game or maybe the playoffs

[mrklean]

haha he did throw a bat at a ump once maybe he can toss one at Mijares to

Got the team going, didnt it. Lit a fire under an already hot Young and I think it sparked the boys for the weekend.

Let hope they all stay hot.
