IS Cuddy worth 7.66 million??

[The J-Man!]

Cuddy might be the worst everyday starting RF in baseball

Sadly, the numbers right now say you just might be right.

[wahoohendoo]

Sleds been right all along. cuddy has 1 good year under his belt. look at the ball bounce out of his glove last night and results in a triple(learn how to jump) and you Delmon dislikers see him play the ball perfectly off the wall and hold the guy to a single. the numbers are starting to show who should be playing more and not playing because he is a vet.

[SledNeck]

Its obvious everywhere that the Twins Nation has grown tired of Cuddy and his cemented spot in the line up.

If they had a Cuddy bobblehead day there would be a 40 foot pile of them burning infront of the metrodome

[PierBridge]

I don't expect the Twins to panic at quite the level you two are based on the small sampling we've had so far.

But stay tuned you guys may be right in the end...

Cuddy is a joke and will continue as the season goes on. Period. The dude doesn't hit in the clutch and is over rated as a fielder.

When you think of the Twins 65mill or so salary, the dude is a waste for being paid nearly 1/9 of it.

CUDDY IS JOKE!!!! Wake up and smell it, Cuddy Stinks.

His signing for the big contract a few years ago is like letting Ortiz go,,, but in this case, were stuck with a stiff.

7.66 million should = 18-23 HR's 80-90RBI's and .280avg.

Cuddy is not that.

I just wish I could be making the decisions instead of Gardy...nah, he does a pretty good job. Guess I'll just keep my job and let him do his.

[genegodawa]

If I was retired, dude, I'd keep my job too!

[UdeLakeTom]

Don't you want to manage the Twins???

Seems like everybody else does!!!!

[genegodawa]

I got a tough enough time managing my Cubbies you know....not to mention my lovelife! Nyuk, nyuk.

well, I'll be the first one to admit that he's played exceptionally well the last week. This is really the kind of production that we need from our 4th highest paid player and I hope he continues to play like he has the last one week rather than how he performed the first four weeks. It sure looks like he's going to be in the lineup every day and this kind of production will go far to quiet the skeptics (myself included) who have said all along that he's been given a much longer leash than others.

[TopwaterTom21]

I guess I respectfully disagree with you guys who thinks cuddyer isn't worth the money. Cuddyer is the leader of our clubhouse, he keeps everyone loose. He's a good character guy just like most others in the club house. And not only that, he does have 10 rbi's in may. That's worth something right? And I bet you all would hate to have him throw span out at third from right if he played for another team.

[zamboni]

Noones talking smack on him right now- he's hitting, playing good defense and playing everyday. That HR he hit last night was a bomb, one of the longest I have ever seen hit into LF stands at the Dome.

[OLY]

Its funny how a good week from a guy can shut threads like this one down. The next time he goes 0 for 4 with a couple k's it will fire right back up. Go Twins, and go Magic Man!

[UdeLakeTom]

Gardy said this morning, that Cuddy was pressing too hard, he started shooting to right field, and now things are starting to work for him.

[zamboni]

BTW- Cuddy is on Yahoos MLB page as the #3 hottest hitter in the MLB over the last 14 days.

Check out this article on Cuddy. That's why we need him.

nice turkey Pier! This spring?

[PierBridge]

Yes! & thanks!

[UdeLakeTom]

Did you stop at Zorba's???

[PierBridge]

Nope, drove by it several times in search of Fish though. Definitely stopping in this weekend for some Suds and Zaw!

[greebs]

let's not get too carried away here with the praise. he's had a very nice run the past two weeks but when you combine that with how poorly he played the first four weeks, the overall average still ain't that great for the 4th highest paid player on the team.

I sure hope though that he continues to play at somewhere's near the level he's played the past two weeks. the team needs him and a few others to pick it up and get everybody playing the way they need to if they want to be serious contenders. We all want the team to succeed and I think we'd all be happy if at the end of the year his stats were better than he had in 2006 and then a few of us, myself included can eat some crow.

[zamboni]

Bottom of the ninth, down by one, man on third, two outs. Delmon or Cuddyer? I would take Cuddyer.

[KMR85]

I would take Gomez swinging away at every pitch.

NOT!

[PierBridge]

On average I'd probably take Delmon being he's is a .292 career hitter versus .268 for Cuddy.

Tonight I'd take Cuddy because he has the hot stick right now!

Go Twins!
