Maybe they could trade for Joe Mauer and sit him on the bench since that's all he's good for.DJH wrote:God damn, if they could just trade for a stud like Lyle Overbay they'd be in the World Series come October.
Bravo...he might be ready by the All-Star break...by that time the Twins, anchored down by his $23 MILLION salary, will be so fucking buried in last place with the worst record in baseball Babe Ruth himself couldn't help them.Minnesota Twins C Joe Mauer (legs) will work out but not play...[+] in a game after playing in his first extended spring game Wednesday, May 25. 'He's progressing,' minor league field coordinator Joel Lepel said. 'He had a good day. There is no timetable. We want to get him into position to play the rest of the season. He's giving an effort. We're going to be patient and cautious.'

No, but they do get the Astros, Pirates, White Sox, Royals and Nationals wrapped around a couple series H/A with the Marlins and Giants....Gil Dobie wrote:Arizony doesn't get to play the Twinkies again for an easy series. On the other hand, losing Posey will be tough for the Giants.

Really hope the DBacks win the division so I get to see an ODU alum (Dan Hudson) pitch in the playoffs.dbackjon wrote:In first place again, 1/2 game up on San Francisco and 7 games over .500
After starting the season 0-4, Hudson is 8-1 in last 9 decisions, and team is 9-2 in his starts.ODUalum11 wrote:Really hope the DBacks win the division so I get to see an ODU alum (Dan Hudson) pitch in the playoffs.dbackjon wrote:In first place again, 1/2 game up on San Francisco and 7 games over .500

He pitches tonight against KC
Hudson's back to pitching like he did LAST year when we got him...and he's just 24 
I'd prefer Micah Owings here... (28) 3.18 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 3-0 Jerrod Parker will be a 2-3 guy in years to comeAZGrizFan wrote:dbackjon wrote:

This rotation could be brutal to opposing teams for years to come.
Kennedy (26) 2.90 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 8-2
Hudson (24) 3.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 8-5
Colmenter (25) 2.09 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 4-3,
Saunders (30) 4.35 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 4-7

That's fine. I really like Owings out of the bullpen, but he's a serviceable #5 until one of those two get here....and Saudners isn't anything to write home about either....get those two up here and we'd have all 5 starters under 27...dbackjon wrote:Jerrod Parker will be a 2-3 guy in years to comeAZGrizFan wrote:

Trevor Bauer could be very good as well
Yankees should have kept Kennedy.AZGrizFan wrote:dbackjon wrote:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Daniel Hudson and the Arizona Diamondbacks found a way to continue their winning ways on Thursday night.
Hudson pitched seven strong innings to win his ninth game, and Miguel Montero and Juan Miranda each homered to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 5-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night.
"I'm sure he'll (Hudson) tell you he wasn't real happy," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "He couldn't locate like he wanted to, but he battled through it. We didn't help him. We didn't play a very clean game at all. We got very sloppy.
http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=310623107" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"We're a confident team right now going into the dog days of summer," Hudson said. "We've got some pretty good streaks going."
Hudson (9-5), who has won his past six decisions, is tied for the National League lead in victories. He is 8-1 with a 2.78 ERA in his past 11 starts after losing his first four starts. He held the Royals to three runs and six hits, while walking one and striking out one.
"I probably had my worst command of the year," Hudson said.
