Boof has to go.
Slowey may have saved himself Friday.
Kubel can hit Grand Slams. (thats 5? in the last 3 years)
Brian Bass is the worst major leaguer I have ever seen.

When they all get healthy, you have the following starters available:
1. Livantana
2. Boof
3. Baker
4. Blackburn
5. Slowey
6. Perkins
Liriano may not be ready this season, we will see.
Should one be sent to the minors?
I dont think so.
Trade one for a hitter.
Do a Delmon Young type deal.
Maybe we could pickup a.....ah, lemme think now..... how about... maybe...........another Jason Boofin Kubel!
Yah gotta be kiddin me.

That hadn't even occurred to me as a possibility!!! There could be a future for this team! I'm excited again!

The first
All-Star voting update is out, and it looks like Morneau & Mauer are within striking distance of a starting spot (although Morneau has a long way to go to catch Youkilis).
To me, the big news here is that Jason Kubel is nowhere to be found as a top 5 DH, and I think we can all agree that this is an injustice that to be rectified. So, I'm calling on all of the Minnhockers to make this right, and vote, vote, vote, and keep voting for JASON "BIG PAPI WHO?" KUBEL!
C'mon folks!
Here's your ballot... GET OUT THE VOTE!!!
KU-BEL! KU-BEL! KU-BEL! KU-BEL! KU-BEL! KU-BEL!

You could probably Package Boof/Rincon/Everrett for Possibly Garret Atkins from Colorado.

Absoboofinlutely.
Pitching is very scarce.
boblee, remeber what Carlos Silva signed for?
I dont know what Boof's trade value is but it makes no sense to keep him in the minors.

According to
this , the Boofer is getting one more start and then heading to the bullpen to make room for Scott Baker. He's not going to the minors at any point because he's out of options.
This may not be a horrible move. It'll get Brian Bass the hell out of here, and Boof seems to have the ability shut some lineups down for a couple of innings anyway (as long as it isn't the 1st). Hopefully he can use it as a chance to work on getting his curveball down - he's effective when he does that, but can't get it there.

Boof really has been bad.
The only team he has done well against is KC.
I think he needs to gain a few pounds.
I am surprised the Twins havent put him on a strict weght gain program.
Yup, puttin on some lbs's would do him more good than the bullpen.

If I can get offered $21 million
over 3 years, so can Boof. But
hey, I didn't want it, one year
at $4.25 million was better.

Lohse should gain some weight too.
But he is another great example. Who would have thought anybody would want him?
They like Kyle and they'd love Boof.
Teach your son to pitch.

Looks kind of chincy... Jason deserves better. P-Diddy agrees. So does Paris Hilton...
All the big stars are coming out in support of this worthy cause.

I see you've been hanging out with some high class stars...
Where've you been? Rogers?
If there was a market for a better fan club site, there would be one. I think JBK is lucky to have chincy...
