IS Cuddy worth 7.66 million??

[PierBridge]

I was wondering does the 3 Run BOMB Cuddy just hit in the bottom of the 1st in a tie game against the hottest team in baseball fall under mop-up, clutch or some other Batting stat????

KABOOM!

Edit: Hit #2 "laser double" raises Cuddy up to .283 for the moment!

Edit again: sharp single to center and a triple away from the cycle. Currently hitting .288, then again its a mop up game now!...

Edit: SHIZ-ZAM..its the CYCLE for Cuddy!!!!!!!!! .291 AVG..

I vote we keep him around for just a bit longer... at least until after he plays in this years All Start Game ...

Cycle!!!!

Score!!!

Awesome!!!

I am a fan of Cuddy and I think he earns his money in the field and in the locker room. I think The fact that the M & M brothers are back together and smashing the ball is the main reason Cuddy is doing better. Those two make everyone better, except maybe Punto

[zepman]

7.66 million will be a bargain if he stays on the pace he's on now.

PB,

LOL, loved your post.....but, the "slammers" aren't talking right now. The Twin's really missed Cuddy's bat last year, and early this season, before he got the rust off his swing. Now look at the runs they are scoring, with a power bat behind M&M. Makes the pitching staff look a lot better, too. Crede gives them more depth from the right side, and a "mistake" gets hit a loooong way. I don't see Gardy changing the line-up anytime soon......

As far as the original topic on this thread.....NO man is "worth" that kind of $. Not even the best player in the game (whoever you think that is), but with the competition for players and all the $ in the industry, you better pay a competetive salary to the good ones, if you want to improve your team. And YES, HE IS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES.

Nah, the guy is a bum...he made an out in his last at bat and only went 4/5.

[fishersofmen]

Whoops, look at Cuddy now......

[bassNspear]

hit for the cycle last night. Things are looking up if they keep hitting like this!

Gosh, I am LOVING this. Time to move Young.

[zamboni]

BTW, I was thinking this morning, how often a team has 2 people or same person hit for a cycle 2 times in a single season, then Yahoo (in an article on their site) answered my question- only one other time this decade has it happened- in 2003 teammates Vlad Guererro and Brad Wilkerson did it for the Expos.

2 Twins did it in 1976- Larry Hisle and Lyman Bostock. Very rare

Gosh, I am LOVING this. Time to move Young.GOGO!

Fixed!

Cuddys playing well

Apology excepted!~~~~

[greebs]

he's playing very well again. seems that cuddy is a micro version of the entire team. he and the team can look so good at home but for some reason once they hit the road, it's a different story.

they just have to figure out how to play better on the road to make a serious run this year; and of course there's that little issue with the bullpen that needs to be addressed. don't suppose the rays would be interested in a do over on that little trade that occurred two years ago? heck, we could always throw in a heck of a defensive ss to sweeten the deal

[SledNeck]

why should I apologize?

2 months do not make a season

[SledNeck]

GOGO needs to go go get more batting practice

[PierBridge]

I knew you weren't apologizing.

You should have but I knew you wouldn't. So I did it for you and if you have to ask why... well never mind!

[UdeLakeTom]

He should finish with over 25 dingers and close to 100 rbi. Unless Morneau cleans the bases ahead of him and leaves nothing for Cuddy to drive in.

and what if he slumps for the rest of the season or goes on the 60 day dl? then what?

[greebs]

pier, you better be careful or you are going to jinx him. weren't you one of those that was throwing out the eating crow comments last football season and then all of a sudden tjack had to face the eagles and suddenly it became mealtime for you? It's a long season yet and who knows how things will pan out. I know we are all cheering for the same outcome for the team though so guess comments thrown at each other here on the forum can all be just made in fun.

[SledNeck]

jinx complete

It's one game- relax!!! I can't believe the Punto criticisms haven't started yet.
