Gene Honda Civic Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/baseball/232009_moore11.html Minnesota's attractive, too, Boone saying: "I love playing in their stadium, and I'm impressed with how they go about their business and get to the postseason every year." Do you know anyone who has a nice word to say about the metrodome who's not on the Twins of Vikes payroll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt matter, unless they are passing out some BALCO leftovers in the clubhouse, Boone is worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 read Kruk's column yet? Wow. He shot on Boone pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Some of us can't read Kruk columns...damn insider. Anywho...I'd love for the Twinkies to get him. He's hardly an upgrade over anything on their roster right now. .231 BA, .299 OBP? Hell, he only has hit 7 home runs this year. That's more than the 3 guys they have at 2nd base on their roster, but it's hardly anything to shout about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean the Twins are paying his contract? I like this if they are. He's worthless and he'll probably hurt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Im watching the hotlist and they are saying that he is now on the Twins! "The Twinkies...and Booney......don't get the job done!" Inspired by your avatar. Anyways, I'm not worried about it. His low average and lack of any offense do not scare me. He is not too much of an upgrade over Rivas, Punto, or anyone else they got. Dont get me wrong, lots of us were calling for Boone on the Sox this past offseason because it is a contract year I beleive but look what he's done. NOTHING.

Balance Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) With our luck, he'll have an MVP second half.... Still, he's batting .232 or so right now. He's had an awful season thus far. Edited July 11, 2005 by Balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 He is a presence in there lineup a presence that could catch fire despite his off year and no more steriods.he will still make a pitcher think, probably a bit more than punto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 He has always killed the Sox during his career, or at least it seems that way. Quite frankly, Boone looks much better in that line-up than Rivas or Rodriguez. I think Kenny will answer this move with a bigger and better move.

Benchwarmerjim Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 on the TV broadcast yesterday, the Twins announcers were saying how decent the front the lineup is with Stewart, Punto, and Mauer.

Dick Allen Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:15 PM) They wont have much payroll flexibility in the trade market after this move. They are paying very little of Boone's remaining salary. I doubt they had much flexibility to begin with. Its really a shame for Twins fans considering Pohlad is one of the richest, if not the richest owner in all of baseball. Boone may still have a little in the tank. It seems most players the Twins acquire contribute mightily to their success. All that said, 9 games is a pretty big deficit, and I think KW can trump that move several times over.
