View Full Version : is this guy the real deal gioperation 03-09-2003, 07:53 PM Michael Cuddyer (twins) leading HR in Spring Training with 6 is he the real deal? If he keeps it up and carries over to the season he might break the record. IggyWH 03-09-2003, 07:56 PM A guy from a beer drinking softball league could hit HR's off of pitchers right now. They're not going full speed yet, and not using their best stuff so it's hard to tell. For the Twins sake I hope he is though. gioperation 03-09-2003, 08:05 PM yeah but 6 jacks already, come on I am telling you Twin/Cubs WS I said it first, right here. IggyWH 03-09-2003, 08:12 PM Right now, the pitching is just a shady above being pitched batting practice, but 6 ding-dongs already is impressive. But also when you don't have to worry about the pitchers best stuff, you can swing for the fences every at bat to try to impess people. gioperation 03-09-2003, 08:16 PM yeah you got a point, but the kid has some power. is he still a rookie, do you know? IggyWH 03-09-2003, 08:25 PM How old is he? I thought Toby Hall for the D-Rays was really a rookie untill I saw that he's 27... that's no rookie in my book. BGray 03-09-2003, 08:46 PM I agree that pitching is shady during the Spring, but I've been hearing about Cuddyer for a while now and there is a good chance he is the real deal. Always hard to say at this point though. BGray goirish48 03-09-2003, 08:51 PM wat team does that guy play for? gioperation 03-09-2003, 08:54 PM twins- right field nyyanks 03-10-2003, 10:32 AM I've heard Mike Cuddyer was a prospect last year with some power, he probably is but I don't think Spring Training is a good indication of his development. plunge 03-10-2003, 12:29 PM Hey, Spring Training is not over. Let's see about HRs once it's over and when the real games start. john1170 03-10-2003, 01:17 PM I hope he is, I have him on my fantasy team! IggyWH 03-10-2003, 03:23 PM Maybe I'm missing something. Help me out here... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/springLeaders?year=2003&category=hrs Molina00 03-10-2003, 06:51 PM there is no way he will hit like this during the season, but he should help out in the Twins lineup a bunch. I would have to say possibly 20+HR's and 80+RBI. If he wins the RF job. cheesiehead 03-11-2003, 03:04 PM YEAH HE IS, I USED TO SEE HIM PLAY ALOT WHEN HE PLAY FOR THE THUNDER(aa) swedishfish 03-11-2003, 09:28 PM I think that he's going to be a very good quality starter but i dont think that he's the next great homer hitter. But you never know it too early to tell eegro369 03-13-2003, 05:32 PM i agree with the shady pitching in the preseason but 6 bangs is impressive but i just want to see how this guy does when the real season starts |
