IS Cuddy worth 7.66 million??

[zamboni]

Would Cuddyer be a starter on nearly every other major league team? YES.

Would Delmon??? Hate to say it- NO.

[Mudcutter]

Cuddy's Hr was a solo blast. First run scored by Punto stealing 2nd and scoring on a WP.

Cuddy Hr come after Kubel GIDP. I doubt Cuddy hit's a 3run HR.

Still, I have to eat crow on Cuddy this year. PLaying great at 2 posistions and basically carrying the team on his bat.

I should talk smack about more Twins. like-- Tolbert.

MAn, we need one more player to step up and I believe we are in.

The Tigers are starting panic mode, big time.

The Twins have nothing to lose and are playing like it.

[Cicada]

I don't know, do we have another $7 million dollar man we can compare to on the team?

Cuddyer; 143Games, 551 ab, 86 runs, 153 hits, 34 doubles,6 triples,30 home runs, 88 rbi, .525 slg, and .278 ba

Crede; 90 games, 333 ab, 42 runs, 75 hits, 16 doubles, 1 triple, 15 home runs, 48 rbi, .414 slg, and .225 ba

Everyone was thrilled to get Crede for those dollars, knowing that he had a poor chance of giving the Twins a full year, yet Cuddyer takes all the unwarranted abuse. It all shakes out at the end of the year. It's a game of averages. Cuddyer is and has been, when healthy, above average.

[foulpole18]

Cuddy is totally worth the cash the way he's playing. Delmon on the other had is embarassing in the outfield. It's time the delmon experiment ends. He sucks. Cuddy is going to carry the Twins to the playoffs. Go Twins!

[soldoncass]

mudcutter,

thanks for the correction...noticed on the highlights this morning , it was a solo blast. 2 rbis a piece then, and a draw.Cuddy was pretty much "on the ball" last night though...warning track out, dinger, hard lineout, walk with bases loaded...so a 3run blast wouldn't have been out of the question.

Tolbert and Harris are "on the bubble I think for next year. Some of the guys you see playing more now, are being "checked out".

[PierBridge]

OOOPS forgive me "rolling eyes" it was 16 home-runs not 24 the one year. But everything else "600 plate appearances and 550 at bats each year along with 276,284 avrs and the 24 dingers and 109 FREAKING RBI'S "newly added to prove you guys wrong again" are all Correct! Nice try on your grade school semantics again. But thanks anywhoo I over looked the 24 and 109 monster year he had...LOL

The reason Delmon Young hasn't had the AB's this year is simple.. Kubel is a better hitter and Delmon can't play in the outfield at a high-school level...K?

That being said it sure is nice to have him now and he's greatly contributing to the teams success.

Props to Delmon! Well done keep up the good work!

Hes sure improving his trade value, isn't he? Gone from a case of baseballs to a case of baseballs AND 3 bats!!

[Cicada]

What I got from an interview this past week from Richard Bremer on a local radio station is that the outfield spot is Delmon's to lose. He said there is a reason why Delmon is getting more playing time when the playoffs are on the line than Gomez. Unless Gomez can show some clue to game situations at the plate, he may be the odd man (odd or otherwise) out.

I wonder if the rest of the league realizes that the Twins make the best of what is available and they put a guy out for trade, he may not be worth much.

Question may be whether potential is more valuable than ability.

[greebs]

pb, you are a very funny poster. you make a statement that what someone else said was not true and in that very same post, you list false information. and now you want to call it semantics? and now you also say that you forgot about the one season with 24 dingers yet your earlier post said 3 out of 4 years with 24+ dingers? so does that mean when you said 3 out of 4 years you were actually thinking only 1 out of 4 but felt the need to pad stats?

cuddy's having a good enough year that you don't need to add a bunch of incorrect stats to try to prove your point. try sticking with true statments and facts if you are going to present them as facts rather than an opinion.

for example if you said that according to a specific stat webiste that cuddy's hot hitting as of late has moved him up to #10 on the team batting average for the season with runners in scoring position, you would be stating a true fact as of yesterday. and if you said that you think morneau did not have a down year this year because his stats are very similar to cuddy's then that would what they call an opinion. it's really a simple process. (and if you weren't so quick to resort to name calling when someone disagrees with something you say you probably won't get called out when you are caught throwing out false statements.)

[SledNeck]

PB likes to baffle with you know what!

[genegodawa]

When you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, you baffle 'em with....

But that aside, admitting I ain't keeping tabs on anyone's posting style, I must say I value PB as a major contributor.

The defense now rests...not that he needs any help.

I put out 1 incorrect stat and corrected myself. He's had 2 not 3 of the last 4 years with 24 plus dingers which still proves you guys are incorrect in your fantacy land assement of Cuddyer! Pretty simple. Not sure where you are getting one from..oh maybe you're in denial and shock from this years career 30 DINGER on slaught. LOL! Difference between you and I is I admit my one digit mistake and you GUYS run and hide from your multiple blunders ....

And yes Cuddyer has stepped into the batters box "attempting to BAT" in a MLB baseball game over 600 times in 3 of the last 4 years.

If you, Sled and Fish want to continue to be dolts with your childesh semantics go for it, it make's for good fonder!...

Personally when I'm destroyed on something I take it like a man!

[greebs]

I got the "one" from your earlier statement about overlooking the 24/109 year. It's ok though, no need to try explain it any further. We know now what you meant; sometimes our fingers don't always type what we are trying to convey. I'm sure you will take it like a man and not resort to name calling or anything silly like that.

Today was a tough one for the whole team. But on the good side,they still control their own destiny.

[SledNeck]

dolt was trendy internet insult of the day, 4 years ago...probably when cuddy was on the DL

[Gary Crichton]

Cuddy named player of the month in September for the AL. No suprise to me.

[PierBridge]

Impossible Gary IMPOSSIBLE!

Dolt is hardly a trendy internet insult more of an adjective.. LOL!

Deal with it!...

[Gary Crichton]

Why is that impossible. Am I missing something here, granted the month is not over, so I assume he is the leader in the AL, so far with 2 days left.

[fishin58]

I heard he like sponge bath's from his male groupies

Makes him play better, is there something you want to tell us?

[fishin58]

So none of you want to fess up? I hope at least one of you made the trip to help Cuddles out!!!

[fishin58]

Del-bomb comes through with a SAC-RBI SKOL TWINS !!!!!

[UdeLakeTom]

Anybody see the play when Cuddy cut down the runner on the ground ball to 1st??? Excellant fielding again by the Twins.

[PierBridge]

Why is that impossible. Am I missing something here, granted the month is not over, so I assume he is the leader in the AL, so far with 2 days left.

I was kidding Gary. Everybody knows Cuddy is the hottest, Clutchest hitter in the league at the most important time of the year. Some just can't admit it is all...LOL.

Delmon remains solid and is producing big time.

That throw the other day, when he nailed that guy at 2nd was incredible he may have the best arm in the majors to be honest. If he can improve in the many other area's he is weak in he may still make it as a starter... long long way to go though both offensivley and defesively before we get out hopes up on that ...

Go Delmon!

[Gary Crichton]

Good PB I thought I was losing it there. He has a arm.

Just a prediction, since the M and C didn't fare to well at the bat in the first game, look out for game # 2.

[fishin58]

Sponge bath between games for Griddlecakes? Denard said "I am goin to get me a big sandwich."

[fishin58]

Oh where oh where could my Cuddles Be? HMMM the spongebathers have let the tub get cold.

[Gary Crichton]

Him and Mauer flew the coop yesterday. Both of there bats non existant. They must be saving themselves for tonight and Thursday.

[fishin58]

We can only hope.

[SledNeck]

I dont think cuddy can see verlanders fastball

[HOT SPOT]

Delmon does NOT have that good of a arm dont kid yourself PierBridge.

[Gary Crichton]

I don't think he was alone.
