I can't believe Gordon is still in the top 10.



Read my mind. That he is at 4 takes away any interest I have in this list.


Dude was totally over matched at AAA.

AAA
Casilla: .269 .345 .344 .689
Gordon: .212 .262 .283 .544

I take it back. Except for Gordon’s second year in AA, Casilla pretty well out hit him at every level in the minors.

I remember Casilla looking like the next coming of Carew some weeks when he was working his way up. Nope.

I suppose Royce Lewis is a piece of shit too?

And Alex Kiriloff will amount to nothing?

And what about Rooker?

Seriously. He hasn't played a game in the majors and you're already labeling him bust. I am not ready to do that. The Twins probably promoted him too quickly. Give him time and see what happens.

You two are starting to sound like Ewen and CPAMAN

I was his biggest ankle-biter
and
Kiriloffs biggest ass-kisser
and
Rookers top ear-nibbler

I'm still looking for the words BUST, or GIVEN UP, in any of our posts. I'll keep looking.

No. Sweens just made a direct comparison to a bust and you agreed with his bustiness.

The implication is there. Sweens has no faith that he's anything but a bust. And you agreed.

And yes, Sweens just referred to himself in the third person. Not gonna lie ... Sweens kind of liked it.
