Crede to Twins?

Crede got a GW hit-- way to go. Still K's way to often for my liking, and the dude is likely past his prime. I hope I'am wrong, but I expect busher to playing most of 3b come June.

Past his prime? He's 29 years old. If he can stay healthy he'll be the best 3rd baseman we've had since Gaetti.

I can't believe no one has brought up Punto yet. Is it because he has actually hit the ball a little bit? The guy cannot throw from short to first without the ball hitting the dirt. Morneau better win a gold glove this year...Really I thought he should have had it over Youkilus(sp)last year, but that's what you get playing in Boston or NY. Anyway, two guys I cannot stand are Punto and Gomez.

Yes probably...If ball bounces to Punto each time before he grabs it and throws it for a out, thats not a problem for me.

I'm excited to see Crede on our team. I'm hoping he's getting more used to the team now and can keep a string of clutch hits going.

As to Punto, what's not to like? He can play 2nd, SS, and 3rd. Perfect guy to have on the bench and not a bad starter. Not a lot of pop in his bat. But he's had two out of the last three seasons at near .300. He's been durable, and up until this year underpaid. He sets up for the throw to first very quickly which might excuse some of the speed. We could do better at short, but we could also do a lot worse.

How can anyone complain about Punto. He can play all 3 positions and is a walking highlite reel. That diving stop last nite and a flip to Casilla and it was routine. He has always been a very good defensive player, with a lot of effort given each game. I wish we had more of them......

Now you are going to get them going on Punto again....the funny thing is, that Toronto went thru as many shortstops as we did 3rd basemen, and then decided that Scutaro is their shortstop....I'll take Nick. smile

Harris needs to play everyday! Stick him where punto is at short. I couldn't see that move hurting the twins. Punto would be a backup on any other team!

Harris couldn't get a Punto play out after the ball deflected off Slowey's glove earlier in the game but twins still win. I'd like to keep Punto out there and let the other 8 men do the job on the bats. Harris is good some days, just not an everyday player. Just my 2 cents.

I like Harris to but not everyday. We have to have Punto in the field like said before he is a walking highlight reel. Let the other 8 do it with the bats

Crede looks as if he needs glasses or something, hes not even close to some of those pitches

I can't believe they don't play Harris more.

he played today and watched on a nice breaking ball strike that would have been a homer.

Yeah, you're right. It's too bad punto wasn't at the plate for that pitch. He would have smacked it out for sure! crazy

Crede has never batted over .285 in his career and is usually in the .230-.250 range so I think as the season goes on, his numbers will raise a little higher but nothing close to .280 though. At least he has something good about him, 3rd in Homeruns on the team behind Morneau and Kubel and I think he will be in the top 3 on the team with HR's come to end of the season.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
