    I will remind you of this quote in July. I guess one of his "skill set" is to guess wrong on a two-strike pitch. Honestly, I hope I am wrong, but he is defensive nightmare and seems to guess too much at the plate.

    Yea, like Miranda won me over at third last year. This trade tells me that the Twins think Lee is close.
  3. William K Johnson
    Who's going to play second base?
  4. William K Johnson
    I'm uncomfortable anytime, anywhere that Julien has a glove on. The biggest advantage of him at first is that he does not have to throw the ball. However, if Buxton, Wallner and Kepler are your outfield, Kiriloff is your first baseman.

    Attended Blyleven's induction and just remember it being really hot without any shade. Ceremony is long and parking for the ceremony is a little bit of a hike. Would agree that if you want to tour the Hall, do it on another date.

    Will never forget the bomb he hit in Boston.

    With Miranda at third and Julien at second, Correa had better prepare for a long season.

    I hope Polanco plays second until Lee is ready, then either Lee or Lewis moves to second. This reminds me of the discussion we had this time last year when several on this board were willing to hand third base to Miranda. Well, we know how that worked out. Julien a starter at second would have similar results.
  9. William K Johnson
    Oh, the guy who can't field or throw. Julien is not the answer at second base.
  10. William K Johnson
    Who would play second?
  11. William K Johnson
    You can't depend on an umpire's call. If it is close with two strikes, you have to be swinging. I would much rather see a swinging strike out than a looking one.
  12. William K Johnson
    Not sure if anyone else has commented on this, but being the devil's advocate that I am, it is serious crunch time and that calls for Polanco to second and the Castro/Farmer combo at third until or if Lewis can return there. Mr. Called Strike three totally misplayed the Chapman line drive and Polanco looked awful at third. If not for an incredible play by CC4, this game might have gone in another direction.
  13. William K Johnson
    Part of Polanco's ankle is issue is that he seems to twist his ankle on every swing. Perhaps a more even approach at the plate is warranted.
  14. William K Johnson
    Like Miranda last season, I just can't buy into Julien. Way too many strikeouts. It seems like he is always guessing wrong with two strikes on him. Mauer used to take until he had two strikes on him, but he was Joe Mauer. Julien is not Joe Mauer. I hope I am premature in this opinion and will gladly eat crow if he turns it around, but when Lee is ready to play third, Lewis should move to second with Kiriloff at first.

    I watched him warming up prior to the game and noticed he was hitting the target from 120 - 150 feet when warming up. I knew he was going to be a tough one yesterday. Why wasn't he the pitcher we got in the Strand-Steer trade?

    Attended last two games at Cincinnati and must say that: - The signing of Willie Castro has to be the greatest under-the-radar signing in Twins history. He won both games for us with his bat, glove and speed. - The Red's best players were Streer and Stand. Has to go down as one of the worse transactions in team history, right up there with the release of David Ortiz and the JJ Hardy trade.
  17. William K Johnson
    This is a no brainer. Bring him back for another season and let Lee get another year at St. Paul. Kepler should be brought back as well. He is a bargain at his salary and performance.
  18. William K Johnson
    Agree that Julien and Wallner have hit a wall. Julien seems to be guessing too much instead of reacting to what is coming. He sure seems to take a lot of looking strike threes. Wallner just looks overmatched at the moment.
  19. William K Johnson
    Think the league has caught up with Julien and Wallner? Can't leave that many runners in scoring position and expect to win a game.
  20. William K Johnson
    I know it is early, but like what I have seen so far.
  21. William K Johnson
    If he can't provide more than he has provided this season, I say shut him down, fix the knee and try it again next season.
  22. William K Johnson
    I think the league has figured Julien and Wallner out. Kiriloff goes back to first this weekend and Solano goes back to DH.
  23. William K Johnson
    Detroit is the team to keep an eye on. I really like some of their young players, both pitchers and everyday players. Carpenter, Wierling, Greene on the offensive side, and with a young core of good arms with a few more getting healthy, they are the team that will challenge the Twins going forward.
  24. William K Johnson
    Was wondering why Polanco did not turn the double play at second better, than realized he is not playing second base tonight.
  25. William K Johnson
    Could have then put Farmer at short. But Rocco is beholden to his big contract guy.
