Plouffe hit a HR last night while playing right-field in the first game of a double-header. Just saying.

Steve Lombardozzi Jr. played 2B in that game.

Been to that restaurant twice in a week and had no complaints from 15 people. Sounds like an advertisement? Did you receive funds? I love you either way.

First, Aaron. Then, a dose of Ted Robinson. Now, Neal (good job). We actually have some media members who take the time to understand and explain the game.

Im simply pointing out that the FO took a chance on the 24-25 spot on the roster to see if they could find someone to fill it. They must have felt a need for some left handed relievers, they signed a few.

Everyone with ears should sign the Vin Scully for the World Series petition linked to on Hardball Talk. Bring on Mr. Golden Voice!

JA,

I’m not sure what you are trying to say. It seems like you are trying to justify a horrible move (waiving Delaney to make room for Hughes) by pointing out a good move the Twins made that worked out. (picking up James on waivers.)

Aaron is not making these assessments in hindsight, he and everyone else who watches baseball closely knew that Dusty Hughes is awful, and that waiving Delaney, who was still reasonably young and had potential was not a good move. Aaron, and many others also praised the Twins for taking a chance on James.

Furthermore, Dumatrait sucks so I wouldn’t point him out as a successful pick-up.

So yeah, you’ve created a false dichotomy.

Jesse, so you want to chastise the Twins FO for taking a chance on a guy for free, or excuse me, Rob Delaney. They also took a chance on Chuck James and Phil Dumatrait. Sometimes you find a surprise.
Its unfortunate it did’nt work out longer for Neshak. The FO must have felt a change of scenery was in order.
Levi Micheal is reportly playing through mirid of nagging injuries. So we probably are not seeing this 20 year old kid play up to his full potentail.

Baffling that Wimmers is going down the same path Hunt did. It’s like you said, how can a guy like Wimmers who had excellect control and command during a large sample size, come to the minors and be this awful? Makes absolutely no sense. Are the Twins doing something wrong with their development of these kids? IS there some Pysche thing going on where they’re not mentally able to hanlde the transition? Hopefully the organization gets mad and goes the reverse route by picking guys that throw hard and walk the park and then they figure it out in minors and dominate in the majors! Woooooweeeeee!!!
