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.........

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.

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!

Toed the line?

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

Go Delmon!

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.

      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.
