Benchwarmerjim Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I havent heard much about Hudson since he went on the DL. It was kind of a freak thing where he swung and then grasped his side. When he has been in the lineup, hes been good, and defense seems to be as advertised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called him up from his rehab stint right about the same time that they announced HGH testing in the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) The Twins lineup really, really scares me. We were saying the same thing back in April and May.

Balta1701 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The Twins lineup is currently 5th in the AL in runs. The Sox are 8th and probably would be 7th if the Angels hadn't played 4 more games than us. They're a good lineup, but they're by no means putting up an awe-inspiring season like I thought they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes 2009 the rest of the way it could be curtains. Edited July 28, 2010 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are 8th and probably would be 7th if the Angels hadn't played 4 more games than us. They're a good lineup, but they're by no means putting up an awe-inspiring season like I thought they could. There are doing this with Morneau on the DL mostly this month, Hudson missing time on the DL, Punto/Hardy's .366 OBP vs lefties on the DL at one time, and about a 40% Joe Mauer since May. Their line-up is legit. Young is having an incredible year, and I don't expect that to last, but Kubel and Span are having down years for their perspectives. They need a 3B though.. but the way Valencia is hitting, they might be even more dangerous and don't need to trade to get one. Their pitching is what I never would have thought would be this good. (though I told wite a while back Liriano was going to be very good or "back" this year) Thank god Joe Nathan is gone for the season. Rauch would have made for an excellent set-up man (or a solid MR in the 7th inning to turn to Guerrier).

Now he's got this concussion issue and might not be the same player you saw in the first half. It's only natural that Mauer would then go on and rip the s*** out of the ball. So things even out I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 They sort of remind me of the Angels right now. From buyers to potential sellers at the flip of a switch. They have too many holes to fill IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
