Twins Acquire JJ Hardy

[Wells]

I'll let you figure it out...

[Emmz]

I dunno, I heard that UND fans are capable of such mental defectiveness. Just sayin'

[CoachC.]

Supposedly we were in on hardy but Brew Crew wanted Bard or Buchholz for Hardy and would not take Bowden.

And they settled for Carlos Gomez? I guess Minnesota couldn't wait to trade Hardy. you would have thought they would have at least waited until the GM meetings to gauge interest.

[TheMino007]

Sox should have had interest in Hardy, but I wasn't going to trade Bard or Clay for him, no way. The has the tools to put all together, but he's been terrible

[Keeper]

Kubel and Cuddyer are at about the same level offensviely as Youkilis and a healthy Lowell. They're pretty respectiable power hitters' date=' especially Kubel.[/quote']

 

No. Kubel has a .670 career OPS against lefties. He should be platooned. Cuddyer is so-so. His numbers haven't been very consistent.

Jason Kubel: a player Twins fans can get excited about.

Agreed about Kubel, and he showed against the Yankees that he can go into the most horrendous slumps ever. He's not a guy who plays consistently throughout the year, but has hot and cold streaks. As for Cuddyer, when healthy, he's been good for us for the most part of the past four seasons, one of those he was injured almost all year.

 

Cuddyer's last three FULL seasons OPS: .867, .790, .862, which is pretty good, but no, he's no Kevin Youkilis, and Kubel is no healthy Mike Lowell. I don't agree with the argument, just thought I'd mention that Cuddyer isn't all that inconsistent.

He's a real black hole in the lineup, wouldn't you say?

[Tyler Durden]

Twins straight up stole him from the Brew Crew.
