December 21, 200421 yr Except for the fact they did investigate on the Kendall situation and also Pierzynski. It's clear he's willing to go with Davis and Burke but not completely satisfied ... and he shouldn't be. Well lets hope he isnt willing to go with teeball stand by commitee at number 5.
December 21, 200421 yr Well lets hope he isnt willing to go with teeball stand by commitee at number 5. No ... I don't think he's willing to do that. Just a hunch.
December 21, 200421 yr The horror that awaits the CWS in 2005 is a 7-9 lineup that avg's about 700 OPS for the season. Not good. That's like giving away outs to the other team. Right now Crede-Davis-Harris is worthy of s***-canning the season before it starts. I'm not a big fan of AJ's either. But really anybody is better than Davis. Zaun, Greene, or AJ. Just sign one of them. Please. I disagree with most of you in think that are need for a utility player to primarily backup Harris is a must need. More important than a 3/4/5 SP. KW should be on the phone with Cairo's agent.
December 21, 200421 yr Im not a big fan of A.J. hes a prick and hes terrible defensively. I wouldnt cry over it if we signed him though. Good hitter.
December 21, 200421 yr im gonna give ben the benefit of the doubt, this is his last year to prove himself, as well as a free agent year i believe. i look for him to hit .240+ if he gets 60% of the games, but if we get AJ, I wont complain, he will outproduce davis any day.
December 22, 200421 yr I don't understand all this Pierzynski love. Why is everyone around here so fascinated with this guy? He has now been traded from one and cut from another because he is an awful guy to have in the clubhouse. He is just an awful personality to have around the team. Second he is absoultely horrid defensively. He may hit for average, but that is about it. Ben Davis came over and hit .231 for the White Sox with 6 HRs, 16 RBIs, and 21 Runs Scored in 160 ABs. That is not bad if he provides very good defense, which he is capable of. Just trying to say I would much rather take a chance on Ben Davis actually living up to his potential than having a cancer such as Pierzynski on this team.
December 22, 200421 yr AJ was traded by the Twins because of two things .... Mauer and money. If that is what you want to believe. All reports are that Mauer will not be at catcher for long anymore due to his recent knee injyries. They are not making a push for Pierzynski and I dont think he will be costing too much to bring in. I believe there is more to it than just Mauer and money
December 22, 200421 yr AJ was traded by the Twins because of two things .... Mauer and money. Ron Gardenhire and Terry Ryan in disguise I presume?

They are not making a push for Pierzynski and I dont think he will be costing too much to bring in. I believe there is more to it than just Mauer and money yep the twins forsaw the freak knee injury just games into Mauer ML career, but hated AJ so much because of his bad attitude that they shipped him out anyway.

No one new he was gonna have the knee injuries he did. Like yasny said mauer and money. If mauer was not there they would still have pierz in my opinion.

They are not making a push for Pierzynski and I dont think he will be costing too much to bring in. I believe there is more to it than just Mauer and money When they traded AJ, they had every reason to believe Mauer would catch for years to come. As for money now, they are trying to lock up Santana to a multiyear deal, and rightly so.
December 22, 200421 yr yep the twins forsaw the freak knee injury just games into Mauer ML career, but hated AJ so much because of his bad attitude that they shipped him out anyway. His bad attitude contributed to 3 division titles, btw.
December 22, 200421 yr His bad attitude contributed to 3 division titles, btw. Isn't it amazing how club house chemistry clicks when a team is winning? I think winning comes first, not second, in the chemistry department.
December 22, 200421 yr if we get AJ i will be happy if we get noone else, if we get AJ and Larkin ill be stoked. Assuming(i know i know) we get EL DUKE.
