IS Cuddy worth 7.66 million??

[Coach1310]

id rather see delmon playing than Gomez

I agree with you there. I think Gomez should be in AAA, leading off every game and working on his hitting. It won't happen because they have to show something from the Santana deal in my opinion. I don't have an issue with a LF-Young CF-Span RF-Cuddy everyday outfield lineup. It is quite a bit below the current Span, Gomez, Cuddy as far as defense goes, but an improvement on offense. I guess I just don't see why you guys hate Cuddy so much....

[zamboni]

And I would rather see Delmon get a shot, rather then a ballwashing suck-up like Cruddy.

Young is nowhere near the player Cuddyer is. Period. Would I rather see Young than Gomez? Sometimes, but Gomez is starting to hit, and he is very good defensively. I don't ever see Young hittig more than 20 HRs in a year, but I don't think Gomez could do that in his career.

Gogo with another sac bunt that helps the Twins to a win. Cuddy with another 0 fer.

Even the announcers commented on the energy Gogo brings to the team, plus every SOX player hates him with a passion.

[zamboni]

Gogos fake bunt/swing was awesome, they need to do that more often.

[crothmeier]

gomez brings life and energy to the team even in down situations. Like fishin58 said bert and Richard commented on how he got the crowd stirring with his energetic play. the kid plays the game with all his emotion and you can tell he enjoys every minute of it. He has stellar defense, his hitting will come with time. I see him being a fan favorite in Minnesota for years to come.

Just a quick little update on Cuddles after his 4 hit 2 HR plus a double performance today at Detroit including a 9th inning HR ...

.277 AVG- 19 Dingers- 24 doubles- 6 Triples-

[blue_healer_guy]

At least one of Gardy's bobo's is performing this year.

[Gary Crichton]

HMMMMMM I believe I have some stat predictions and some views at the begining of the season on Cuddy. A lot of people that were saying that he is not worth it, should get their plates ready for some crow, and I am glad they are NOT coaching baseball at any level.

[glenn57]

theres a CROW BAR restrant in sqwauw lake north of winnie!!!

[zamboni]

I love it when he has a game like yesterday, people around here are awfully quiet, but if he goes 0-4, they are on here strutting like a peacock. I would be willing to bet Cuddyer would be a starter on well over 3/4ths of the teams in the league (if not all), so whats the beef?

[Gary Crichton]

Dito Zamboni, it is simply amazing isn't it. Ya but you know on a lot of other teams he would get a little more money, than what he is making here. Oh thats right he is not worth 7.66.

Glenn, better tell them to stock up and do they deliver.

[fishin58]

How did those SOLO homeruns turn out for us??? I still believe in a loss, but if Cruddles performs in a pressure situation how many more wins would this team have, well at least he bumped his RISP to .231........keep pumping his empty stats.

[Gary Crichton]

So its Cuddys fault there was no one on base. I hate when that happens.

[greebs]

I'll give him his due credit. It was a great game for him and what's even more encouraging is the he got not only one, but two hits in the late innings of the game when the team needed them. Unfortunately, those batting in front of him couldn't get on so his hits would have been even better but that's baseball.

I just did a check of that site I posted earlier showing stats in the late innings. He's up to .200 and this was his first homer of the year in those late inning pressure at bats but the team is going to need big games from players going forward if they hope to get back in this so here's to hoping this is the start of some clutch hitting from him and that it will be contagious to teammates.

[glenn57]

yep, hes gettin piad 7.66 mil and we are here peckin away on FM. he must be doing somethin were not?

[zamboni]

So its Cuddys fault there was no one on base. I hate when that happens.

Exactly. SOLO HRs suck. Hate when that happens, Mauer and Morneau in the 9th get out in front of you and the other one was an inning lead off HR. Ghost runners don't carryover in the Majors I guess.

[UdeLakeTom]

yep, hes gettin piad 7.66 mil and we are here peckin away on FM. he must be doing somethin were not?

He's the union rep...don't all union reps get paid 7.66 million??

[glenn57]

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish.

[Gary Crichton]

Too bad for you hey Glenn, I would ask for raise or your going to play somewhere else. I bet there is no cap is place for you either, so the sky is the limit.

Sure would like to see a 6 game win streak this week. We have the chance.

[zamboni]

I would like to see a winning streak like June of 91.

[PierBridge]

Anyhoo how's the Sweet Corn at the Crow Bar restuarant....

[SledNeck]

The one in Tomah, WI?

[fishin58]

I would like to see a winning streak like June of 91.

That is what I was telling my buddy the other day, does it really matter if we have played sub-par ball all year. The central is going to be taken by the team that gets hot late. And I think that will be us!! So in the end I will have to be rooting for cuddles

[PierBridge]

Yes Fish, we now we finally agree on something other than T-Jack!...

Not sure Sled!

[Duffman]

Problem is, in '91, the Twins were the best team in baseball, that's not the case now.
