Re: Minnesota Twins 2011 Season Thread

I agree with this, but I did hate Punto. **** him. The Twins annoy me to no end.

Then don't pay attention to it. What annoys me to no end is what you just said. Especially the starred word. If you have to star it, it probably doesn't need to be said.

Maybe the twins should try to get tebow.

1) Hahahaha

2) They are my favorite team, so I pay attention to them. The moves they make generally annoy me, though. Nothing I can do about that. Trading Wilson Ramos for Capps was stupid at the time and then resigning him instead of picking up the extra draft pick? Maddening. Trading Garza and Bartlett for Delmon Young? Awful. Though, if they let Cuddyer go and sign Willingham like they are rumored to do, that is a step in the right direction at least.

3) I didn't star the word, the software that Filbert employs starred it. If it were up to me, I wouldn't have censored it, because it is one of my favorite words in the English language.

1) ok?
2) I LOVE Cuddyer. I will CRY if they let him go.
3)I ignore rumors until they are true.
4)Let me rephrase. If Filbert thinks the word should be starred, then it still shouldn't be said. I have nothing against people that swear, I just don't like it. It makes me uncomfortable or something.

Cuddyer is overrated. The Twins can get Willingham for 1) less money and 2) they get a high draft pick for not resigning Cuddyer. Willingham is slightly better hitter and a slightly worse defender. When you factor in the cheaper salary and added draft pick, it is a no-brainer, so I'm sure the Twins will **** it up somehow.

And it's no longer a rumor: (http://aol.sportingnews.com/mlb/stor...hree-year-deal) but the Twins can still **** it up by resigning Cuddyer (http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/15/twins-havent-ruled-out-re-signing-michael-cuddyer-even-after-josh-willingham-deal). Ridiculous.

I really hope the Twins don't resign Cuddyer, I'm sick of watching his pathetic swings at sliders low and away. He cannot lay off that pitch at all.

Fielder has that problem too from lefties. Makes me wonder why anyone would pitch anything else untill he either lays off it or finds a way to hit it.

Is Cuddy going to make the Rockies get rid of the trees in Coors Field too ?

I am going to take a wild stab and say that Coor Field is a little more hitter friendly then Target field is. I don't think he was the only one who had an issue with it.

Funny thing is the trees never seemed to bother the visiting teams as much as the Twins. They let that stadium get in their heads from the beginning that it was sooo hard to hit a ball out of there.

Re: Minnesota Twins 2011 Season Thread

Punto was over paid and over used, his defense wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as many people think, he had average at best UZR numbers and made routine plays look great because of it. Add in that he was never healthy, and couldn't figure out that it does not help to slide into first and you can see why I was not his biggest fan.

Cuddyer was that prototypical anti-Billy Beane guy. A guy that puts up decent numbers on the surface but once you dig into them they are not that great, especially 10 mil a year great. His defense was not good, and really struggled in the new stadium. I think his offense will be alright in Colorado but his defense will struggle.

Re: Minnesota Twins 2011 Season Thread

I don't think it matters where he is, HIS offense/defense will be the same. The team as a whole's might vary, but Cuddy himself will be the same.
