Six Word Player Evaluation: Mike Redmond

SBG — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 02:38:51 +0000

The six word player evaluation continues with backup catcher Mike Redmond. Redmond is a pretty good backup catcher, but he's probably going to get quite a few more starts than we'd like to see this spring. Here's my effort:

Let's get naked and hit, boys!

Add up to four of your own.

The last poll was [...]

Six Word “Player” Evaluation: Ron Gardenhire

SBG — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 10:11:43 +0000

Well, he did play in the majors, but this isn't really a player evaluation, of course. Today we look at the manager of the Minnesota Twins, Ron Gardenhire. There's a lot I could say about the 'Tool, but I will admit to a gradual warming toward the big guy over the years. [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Johan Santana

SBG — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:50:35 +0000

It's Thursday and that means former Twins player is featured. Today, it's Johan Santana. Here's my evaluation.

Piles of strikeouts and now cash.

The last poll was on Denard Span. The winning evaluation was Rhubarb_Runner's "Bonus money to your LASIK surgeon." Runner up was brianS's [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Joe Crede

SBG — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:42:18 +0000

Long time third baseman for the Enemy, Joe Crede now dons the uniform of goodness and light. What to make of that? What to make of his balky back? Is he any good anyway?

Here's my offering:

We're supposed to like him now.

Add up to four of your own six word evaluations of Mr. [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Denard Span

SBG — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:50:40 +0000

Our six word player evaluations continues with Denard Span. Dino burst onto the scene last year from out of nowhere or as from out of nowhere as a former #1 pick can. Still, though, I have my doubts about the guy (but, I'm certainly rooting for him), even as I admit that there [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Delmon Young

SBG — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:04:05 +0000

Our Six Word Player Evaluation series continues with the erstwhile Devil Ray Ironman Delmon Young. He's not exactly become a fan favorite in Minneapolis since Tampa Bay traded him to Minnesota as part of a six player deal that included future HOFer (heh!) Jason Bartlett (or at least future league MVP, right?) and Matt [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Torii Hunter

SBG — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 10:42:13 +0000

Last Thursday, we took a look at some other former Twins centerfielder. Today, it's Torii Hunter.

Here's my entry.

Amazing how quickly Twins moved on.

Go ahead and add to four of yours.

Yesterday's poll results for Michael Cuddyer have the winner as Big Mak's "Run on me? Ready. Aim. Cuddyer!" with my offering "Repeating 2006 would be [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Carlos Gomez

SBG — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:22:06 +0000

Okay, let's have a go at Mr. Gomez, the slick fielding, no hit center fielder. Here's my take:

Warning! Sniffing bats causes two-strike bunts.

Give it your best shot and remember: 4 entries, maximum.

Yesterday's Jason Kubel vote was close, but the winner was brianS's "What this club needs: More Kubel!!!" with Sheenie's "Dude, His Dudeness, Duder, [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Michael Cuddyer

SBG — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 10:01:23 +0000

Oops, we missed a day. But, we're back. And it's time to do Michael Cuddyer, the glib, oft-injured, pull a rabbit out of a hat right fielder(?) for the Twins. Here's my offering.

Repeating 2006 would be nice trick.

Add your favorite six word evaluations of Mr. Cuddyer. Please don't add more than four.

Six Word Player Evaluations: Jason Kubel

SBG — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 11:03:11 +0000

It's Friday, and it's time for a six word player evaluation. Who better to end the week with than Jason Kubel? Well, there's Mauer, Morneau, Kirby, but we've already done those. Anyway, let's give the dude a shot. Here's mine:

When in doubt, blame the Dude.

Add your favorite six word evaluations of Mr. [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Kirby Puckett

SBG — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 12:00:39 +0000

The six word evaluations of current Twins players are humming right along and we are really getting some good responses. Today, I wanted to add in a new wrinkle -- six word evaluations of Twins of yesterday. What better place to start than with Kirby Puckett, the little engine behind the Twins two [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Francisco Liriano

SBG — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 12:57:50 +0000

The six word player evaluations continue with a look at our still young pitcher Francisco Liriano.

First of all, here are the results of the Nick Punto poll. First place went to Rhubarb Runner's shout "STOP FREAKIN' DIVING INTO FIRST BASE!" Who among us hasn't shouted that at the TV a few [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Joe Nathan

SBG — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:49:50 +0000

First of all, welcome to all of you who are joining up to play along. I hope you hang around and join in on the fun.

Second, we've got a winner in the Justin Morneau vote: "Jason Morneau is your Derby Champ", submitted by our good buddy davidwatts. Nice going, dw. Runner [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Nick Punto

SBG — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 12:00:39 +0000

It's Monday and time for another edition of Six Word Player Evaulations. The first evaluation was that of Joe Mauer. The results are in and the winning six word evaluation of Joe Mauer is: "He ain't Jesus, but close enough." I set up a page for this silliness here. [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Justin Morneau

SBG — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:46:55 +0000

The rules are simple. Describe the player in question in six words. You can enter as many times as you wish. Then, we vote on the entries to find the best answer (or best three answers). There were a lot of entries for Mauer, and hopefully all the players will generate [...]

Six Word Player Evaluations: Joe Mauer

SBG — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:26:07 +0000

You may have heard about six word biographies, where you describe a person's life in a half dozen words. Well, there's a lot of time between now and Opening Day, so I was thinking, how about a little contest: come up with a proposed six word biography for a player on the roster, submit [...]
