The fans will vote for Pudge Rodriguez and Ozzie will tale AJ as backup because he has stated repeatedly in the Chicago press that he will take all of his team as subs once the mandatory positions are filled.<BR/><BR/>How much Ozzie blather that is and reality remains to be seen. But I would not want it to come down to Mauer and AJ for the final catcher spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-1149698158420564792006-06-07T11:35:00.000-05:002006-06-07T11:35:00.000-05:00Oh right.

I even forgot stupid Ruben Sierra, whom Gardy absolutely loves, who will soon return. Why isn't he getting let go? He's an ancient slugger, White has a .436 OPS, and Castro is completely worthless. All these guys just need to be let go, so guys like Kubel, Bartlett, and others can get their playing time in. And for God's sake, lets give up on Terry Tiffee. He has no power, no real hitting ability to speak of, no patience, and no defensive ability. Why, again, is did he get the call up? Wooten would have been worse, but the Twins have done some pretty dumb stuff lately. Sending Kubel down again would be a knife in the heart.Nick M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05029328242185237902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-1149698090801696562006-06-07T11:34:00.000-05:002006-06-07T11:34:00.000-05:00Agreed.

He was completely horizontal--it was great! If they move him down when Stewart comes back up, I will know that they have for sure lost all of their marbles!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
