So he was the Mark Davidson of the 70s?

He doesn't look that much different than when he was running the show at the Dome.

That shocked me more. Cuddy looks old.

Agreed

Radke and Hunter both looked like they could still help.

I'd take my chances on Bert, Jack or Jim Kaat over Melville.

The white whale was absolutely safe with Melville on the mound.

Plouffe’s roster spot will go to righty Andrew Kittredge tomorrow, though that’ll be just a one-day placeholder move until Alex Cobb is activated to start Thursday’s game.

The longtime Twins infielder was picked up by the Rays after a disappointing start to his lone season with the Athletics, but Plouffe’s struggles in St. Petersburg proved to be greater than in the Bay Area. Through 82 plate appearances as a member of the Rays, he’s batted .178/.268/.247 with a homer and a pair of doubles. All told, Plouffe has posted a .204/.274/.325 batting line and eight homers through 281 PAs.

Seemed to get too bulky. Slowed the bat down.

Didn't someone here suggest we give this guy an extention a year ago? And not put Sano at 3B?

Are you still sticking to your guns on that one Dustin?

We could add him to our mix. I believe he COULD get on the postseason roster if he replaces an injured player.

If Gardy and Ryan were still in MN, Fien would be too
