    No, let's blame it on President Bush or President Obama, depending on your political view. After all, it seems like everyone else does!

      You'd think that people being housebound would stay closer to the computer. Oh well, long time until the season starts, but we do need to pick up the pace a bit...

        I am going to hate this pick later.

        It's a speculative pick, high risk, but high reward IF he gets back to anything like his form with Atlanta.

            I PMd and site-mailed ITC. Hopefully we can have a nice run today.

              • I love getting Matsui, I almost took him over Colvin and I'm glad he slid. Yeah, Oakland sucks, but he should be a .280-25 guy with a little luck. I really don't like the Aybar pick but I need a shortstop and I need speed desperately.

                  Like dont love the Matsui pick. Not a fan of Aybar. There are a few MI out there I prefer.

                  Nothing as challenging as a 20 teamer. We are already rummaging through the dregs.

                    Thanks. I am hopeful that Capps and Franklin might provide a solid showing in saves. Joe Nathan was on the radio last Friday and stated he knew Capps would start the year as closer. Hopefully Capps will be more like he was in Washington than he was in Minnesota last year. Franklin just seemed like...hmmm...good team, he should get some chances.

                    i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

                      Interesting...I read almost the exact opposite.

                      If all goes according to plan, Joe Nathan -- in the final stages of his recovery from 2010 Tommy John surgery -- will fill one of those slots.

                      But will he return to his role as anchor of the bullpen?

                      "My goal is to be the closer," Nathan said Sunday in an interview with 1500 ESPN. "That's what I've strived for from day one, is to get back to where I was before the surgery and hopefully get stronger."

                      • His goal has been to be the closer and he has strived for that from day one but it doesnt sound like he would be surprised if it took a month or two. At least thats how I am reading it.

                          Billy Wagner, Josh Johnson, and Tim Hudson all came back less than a year after surgery and pitched well. I fully expect Capps to get some saves, but I think that Nathan is going to get the bulk of them.

                            I expect that Nathan will be entrenched in the role by mid-May, but with Gardy and the way the Twins baby pitchers, I expect Nathan won't be overworked throughout the entire season.
