The success of the coming season will be determined by how well the Twins develop their young players. As soon as I first wrote that sentence it was followed by the thought, “We’re doomed. The only development we seem to have done in the last few years has been to get hitters to swing wildly at pitches outside of the strike zone when they’ve got two strikes.”
But is that really the case? I’m defining development as how well we turn promising minor league prospects into major league players.
I am not a follower of Donald Trump. I have participated in several no kings rallies and am disgusted with what he and his followers have done to our country and the world. I would like to know what most Brazilians feel about the United States now and about the folks our citizens have elected to represent us.
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.
