I started following the Twins in 2006. I tracked newspaper box scores, watched every game I could and deeply begged my parents to take me to see my new favorite player Francisco Liriano and his magnificent slider. Unfortunately, I have not been as excited about a pitching prospect or rookie since then.
Sure, I have had an odd infatuation with Sam Deduno for three months, I got overly excited from a few Scott Diamond starts. I may have even had an eye brow raised when I saw Berrios throw his
Us under 30-year-olds want one thing from Minnesota sports. A championship. We want the stories handed down by our parents of how crazy the State was in 87 and 91. We want I94 closed.

Just read your article on Twins defense this year and I couldn’t agree more. Pair poor defense with an over abundance of left handed hitters, players who have failed to show they can hit consistently, and a pitching staff lacking in quality starters (Ryan excepted) and we have the makings of a team that is going to lose90-100 games this year.

For this reason I am inclined to be skeptical about Jenkins until he proves otherwise. I hope I’m proven wrong but, given the Twins inability to find and develop position players who have the ability to hit and defend over any period of time, I fear I may be proven correct. We shall see.
