The 2004 Twins also had two Canadians who grew up aspiring to play hockey in the infield and *neither* of them had a mullet because it was 2004 and that's a pretty uncommon haircut in 2004.

"Hopefully" they get "some" of that Sky Dome "magic" "back" this "year".
Maybe that's too many. Time to edit.

Could probably add a parenthetical (Rogers Centre) after Sky Dome to add an extra dash of contempt.
And with apologies to Joe Carter, this is still my favorite moment in the history of the stadium:
Lloyd Moseby was the weak link in the Bell-Moseby-Barfield years. Good fielder/baserunner but if I remember correctly, his bat was a little weak for them to be considered the best.

3 years of Upton for 1 year of Prado, an expendable Delgado, and a bunch of stuff that might not even make the majors. At worst, that's going to be a really good defensive OF, and if they all hit that is probably the best OF in all of baseball. If they can get anything out of that 3b platoon they should be able to give the Nats a good run in the east.

>and Waino will be rockin the "A" next season.
lol, Waino IS a Georgia boy, but naw you know I bleed Cardinal red, but I WILL be checking for these dudes especially when the come to Busch, they remind me of the Cardinal teams of the 80's and early to mid 90's(pre-LaRussa) that I fell in love with. I long for the day we get another African-American star.

He had a down/injured/typical 2nd year and found his patience at the plate, feet and aggression on the pads and in the field last year while refining his swing. He's two years ahead of Trout and Bryce, no comparison to them until they put in three full seasons. Oh, and he's only 23 still. He's fine.

You know that thread was archived, right? You know how much just all around laughter it's good for, all at your expense? Do you really want to start this again going after a GG winning, .479 slugger? Why were you so damn ghost last year when your old, broken and overpaid Phillies were shit?
Heyward has been better than BJ and is 5 years younger. Although going to Atlanta and playing alongside Justin might rejuvenate BJ and I could see him playing better than Heyward, he certainly has the talent for it.

which you denied multiple times in that thread?
All Star voting rewards established stars and early performers; Heyward's April and May were amazing that year. He was the third leading outfield vote getter, not the leader. Matt Kemp had a pretty dismal 2010. Gonzalez had a great year but did it pretty silently in a small market and out of nowhere.
And all over that thread you made all these claims about how overrated Heyward was and will continue to be, then you kicked it up the next year when he was hurt, then ghost on the subject last year...when you were moving...all summer...on foot?

you'd think getting paid & getting a fresh start in Atlanta and playing alongside his brother would inspire him to perform, but who knows with that guy.
60. "Upton gets a bump for his defense though" In response to Reply # 59
Even in years when his bat is kind of "meh" he'll provide a lot of value with his defense and baserunning. He's basically got to be injured or run out to center without a glove over and over again to not put up a 3-4 WAR season.

Both of these men are Uptons.
