    I'm late to this discussion.... Without reading every page of posts, I'll simply say that the guy certainly isn't what he was in the 90's, but he does lead the team in wins right now. I think his off day experiences with the young pitchers are invaluable.

    Is Rivas sucking really badly at 2B? I haven't been following the Twins much.

    I have NEVER heard that it's uncool to bring a glove. I bring my glove if I'm somewhere I could catch a ball. What's less cool, catching a ball with a glove, or getting your ball when some other idiot WITHOUT a glove takes it off the chest and then you pick it up when it rolls under your chair? No one ever catches balls barehanded on the fly!

    This doesn't seem to be a yes/no question. I mean, of COURSE they'll play, even if it's 1 AB per week. They aren't going to not play at all. Dusty DOES play everyone on the roster at least a alittle bit.

    Yeah, it's jacked up somehow. I'm at 9:02, yet it says 8:39. perhaps the NSBB server is in a deep hidden cave in the Rocky Mountains, run by the Yeti.

    What time zone is this message board on? It's 10:00 pm EDT, but the time stamp on my message says 8:37!
  7. Derwood
    Wow, only 2 hours for the first round? We're cruising!
  8. Derwood
    Ok, so I'm wrong. I had never heard that that was where he was born. Huh...

    I don't believe Andruw Jones is representing the Netherlands. The Netherlands is abbreviated as NL. I don't know what NED is for...

    I say Choi will fail miserably. the Derby is a superstars event, and he ain't a superstar.
  11. Derwood
    Maybe we should split this thread for this scintiallting conversation about banned generalizations....
  12. Derwood
    So, you guys done thread jacking here yet? No one has mentioned this transaction for 2 or 3 pages now.
  13. Derwood
    What's ridiculous is we've hit the break and he's just 5 shy of his career high in HR
  14. Derwood
    I'll take "Anal Bum Cover" for $400. That's "An Album Cover"
  15. Derwood
    Which won't be an issue since they'll probably deal him

    Baker has been given the tools to get it done in the past two years, but unfortunately they were not the tools that he wanted. Ergo he has NOT used them so he has NOT gotten it done. Or....he DID use them and they failed (LaTroy Hawkins anyone)?
  17. Derwood
    Dang. I wanna know how we played Blanco last year when he was with the Twins. I'm sure he meant Paul "Choco Taco" Bako
  18. Derwood
    have we given up on the career matchups and such? Where's our stat boy?

    If Murton gets platooned against lefties only, I'm bringing a sniper rifle to the next Cubs home series with a convenient view of the home dugout. As Brenley said last night, "Prospects aren't called up to the majors because they platooned at the lower levels. They are called up because they have proven they can hit righties and lefties effectively."

    Every friggin negative thread turns into a Dusty Bust-a-thon. Christ. I thought we were talking about CP, Doobs and who will play CF for us? I sure don't want Hairston in there full time. Do you have an opinion on my question? no? Then don't respond. We know you are a Dusty apologist why do you feel the need to include it in every response you make? I simply asked the question as to why you never see elite college baseball coaches offered jobs as MLB managers. I thought it was a very good question. Probably because just about every major league manager I can think of is a former major league player, while most of the college baseball coaches probably aren't.

    Someone in the big Patterson to AAA thread suggested that it's common courtesy for major league teams to not claim players off of revocable waivers prior to July 31st. Had he been claimed, Hendry could have pulled him back. Plus someone stated that he has one option left despite his service time.
  22. Derwood
    Why do I have a sick feeling the lineup will be more like: 1. Hairston - 2B 2. Perez - SS 3. Barrett - C 4. Ramirez - 3B 5. Hollandsworth - 1B 6. Burnitz - RF 7. Macias - CF 8. Murton - LF
  23. Derwood
    I haven't heard. Normally those high numbers go to relief pitchers who have no business on the 25 man roster. All those Atlanta rookies had "normal" low numbers. Maybe we'll find out if either actually play tonight.
  24. Derwood
    Heh heh, good try though :D I know, right? People weren't exactly in a froth, posting all night about this. I'm shocked this thread has so many responses actually. It's not like the Nomar trade...
  25. Derwood
    No, but as the poster above just stated, he is ALWAYS first off the bench for pinch-hitting roles. It's as predictable as the sunrise, death and taxes.
