His control was on and maybe he won't be that consistent this year, but I picked him up in both of my fantasy leagues just in case. He has already given up 3 HR in 12 innings as compared to 7 in 125 IP in high-A last year though. Something to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 10:36 AM) Tracking 2 of my favorite overhyped Twins OFs: Delmon Young: .200/.226/.300, 9 K's in 30 AB's (Only XBH was against Buehrle on a wall scraping home rune) Carlos Gomez: .125/.176/.219 9 K's in 32 AB's 2/1 SB/CS Delmon Young isn't really hyped at all. Pretty much everyone realizes that he sucks right now, and unless he makes some serious adjustments at the plate (i.e. not swinging blindly at the first pitch every AB), he's going to find himself out of a job and out of Minnesota fairly quickly. If he had any defense at all he might get some more leeway, but he's a terrible defensive player who has a horrible offensive approach. Â QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) Gomez was hyped. I think everyone currently realizes he sucks. He currently sucks, yes, but he's got a bright future ahead of him if he can figure out how to hit the breaking ball and draw some walks. He's already one of the best defensive CFers in the majors (if not the best), and with his speed he's always a threat to steal once he gets on base. He's still young though, so it's really tough to tell where he'll end up. Â QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 02:48 PM) I like the way that sounds better. It sounds better, sure, but Greinke is a better pitcher than Danks (and I love me some Danks). He's been fantastic lately, and the sky's the limit as far as his potential goes.

santo=dorf Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Delmon Young is still overhyped by fans of other teams. I still read "He's only 23!" "He's a former first overall pick!" "He still hits over .290!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Yes, Neshek is expected to miss all of the 2009 season...they waited too long to do surgery. Â Matt Guerrier and Luis Ayala are not primary set-up men, the Twins learned that with Guerrier last year, and Crain was wildly inconsistent, even though he has a lot of talent. He has never been quite the same pitcher after coming back from injuries, and Rincon's HGH-injected FB was also a huge loss. A lot of pressure will also fall onto Mijares and Breslow, so, at the moment, our pen looks much better than theirs.

caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Guess Humber and Mulvey weren't as good as they were cracked up to be... Â The Royals had to do something about Ponson/Ramirez. The weren't going to wait half a season like the Twins did with Livan Hernandez. Â Surprised that many teams skipped over him, though. He was once pretty highly touted. Pedro Martinez is still looking for a job, too. Maybe the Padres or Angels will sign him. Â MacDougal will end up with the Twins, seems like destiny.
