Let's remember some "Twins guys" thread

[stringer bell]

Houston Jimenez.

On a football Saturday, Purdue quarterback and Twins 2B Bernie Allen.

Al Neuman

Quickest transition from catch to throw ever. Ball didn't stop in his glove, just rebounded as part of his throwing motion. Beautiful. 

[jimbo92107]

 

Pat Mahomes.....nuff said.

I thought Mahomes was gonna be a superstar. Not quite, but he was pretty good. His son is now a very promising rookie QB for the Chiefs. Great arm.

OK...LOVE this idea! So will stay away from Smalley and Wyneger. Or do those two apply now? Lol

Mike Marshall
Pete Redfern
Doug Corbett

Marshall, great screwball, wrote a book on how to throw it without wrecking your arm.

Redfern was supposed to be a front line starter. Whoops.

Corbett's sinker was well nigh unhittable, until his arm fell off.

Lyman Bostock.

 

**** you, Calvin Griffith.

I felt bad when he left the Twins, then much worse when he was murdered.

RIP, a great ball player, good guy.

Correct me if I'm misremembering after all these years, but didn't Redfern's career end to a fall or diving accident when he broke his neck?

[Teflon]

Who's been taken so far?

[Craig Arko]

Who's been taken so far?

I don't give a darn.

[USAFChief]

 

Who's been taken so far?

What hasn't?

[snepp]

 

What hasn't?

 

Scott Stahoviak.

[Linus]

Utility players for $5000.

 

Houston Jiminez.

[mikecgrimes]

Glenn Williams at the time his career came to an end he had an active hitting streak of 13 which was the longest hitting streak to start a career, not sure if it was the longest to end a career too.

[stringer bell]

The last three posts all contained players named before. There are a lot of players, we can do better!

Here's a little turn on this thread:  I'm going to list a bunch of players who played for the Twins. Besides that, what do they have in common?

 

Joe Altobelli, Russ Nixon, Pete Mackanin, Billy Gardner, Chip Hale, Frank Quilici, Sam Perlozzo, Jim Lemon and Johnny Goryl.

[Reider]

Andrew Albers

Jesse Crain

Pedro Florimon

Scott Baker

Jason Kubel

I have no idea, but you left out

 

267. Paul Molitor

[Doctor Wu]

 

Andrew Albers

Jesse Crain

Pedro Florimon

Scott Baker

Jason Kubel

Wilson Ramos

Jason Repko

Danny Valencia

Denny Hocking

Luis Rivas

Cristian Guzman

I noticed that Florimon had been playing some center field for the Phillies recently .... until he suffered a pretty bad  injury to his leg last week. He had also --- if can believe it --- been hitting well!

[Doctor Wu]

Here are a few more that I don't think were named yet:

Bob Tewksbury

George Mitterwald

Keith Atherton

[USAFChief]

I have no idea, but you left out

267. Paul Molitor

And Tom Kelly.

[Longdistancetwins]

In that vein, Charlie Manuel, Ron Washington, some guy named Billy Martin.

[DaveW]

Chilli Davis

[stringer bell]

I didn't want to make it too obvious. I guess it was obvious enough.

[bighat]

Phil Hughes. I heard him doing an ad on Twins radio the other day and I was like "huh. I remember that guy!"

 

Paul Sorrento

John Moses

Brian Hunter

Ron Davis

John Castino

 

[Roaddog]

Juan Agosto

Jim Dwyer

[Roaddog]

What no George Frazier? He's who we got when we gave up on Ron Davis.

[AlwaysinModeration]

I don't think Joel Zumaya counts, so I will have to put forward a name that should have already been mentioned many times (many more than Paul Sorrento has been)....a name that has been steeped in TD lore from time in memorium.....

 

 

 

281. Brian Duensing!!!

[Roaddog]

Bob Kipper, aka Round tripper Kipper.

[Doctor Wu]

I had to go back page 1 and re-read all the posts after realizing that I had duplicated a few names already mentioned. Sorry! Anyway, here are a few new ones, or so I think. Carlos Gomez, Pat Neshek, and Kurt Suzuki were All-Stars at least once, so they don't count, but how about:
Doug Bernier

Wilson Ramirez

Clete Thomas

[lecroy24fan]

Trevor Plouffe
