    North Carolina Eastern BBQ - pulled pork with a vinegar based sauce.

    Tuscaloosa is in Alabama. LSU is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I prefer Juicy Lucies. to Alabama BBQ.

    I wish Wes the very best of luck, except when LSU plays the UNC Tarheels.

    Fool me once, shame on Sano. Fool me 1,038 times out of 2,496, shame on me.

    Whitey, I feel your pain.

    I anticipate that opposing teams will soon start playing the "Kepler shift" when Kepler is at bat. The first baseman and the second baseman will play in their regular positions. All the other defenders will take this opportunity to go into the dugout and drink gator aid and watch as Kepler hits a 2 hopper to the second baseman.

    Good night. I'm glad I'm going to the beach tomorrow for a week. I need it after this game.
  8. tarheeltwinsfan
    Agreed.

    Excellent post Lucas. Thank you.

    If Petty stays healthy, he may become the most valuable of all of these players who have been drafted by Falvey. He was very impressive when I was at Spring Training this year. He was the pitcher, who, when warming up, the other players and coaches would watch. His sizzling pitches were darting in and out of the strike zone. He is a special talent who will be successful in the majors for many years. Therefore, Falvey gets an A+ in drafting Petty. However, in my report card, Falvey gets an F for trading him away, even though I love Gray. I would have made Petty untouchable in a trade. I understand the injury risk with an 18 year old fire-balling pitcher, but I tell you, Petty is special and is worth the risk. In three years the Reds will have Hunter Greene and Chase Petty as two young exciting and personable "Aces".

    His fielding at SS is aptly described by Tom Froemming as "smooth". I saw Noah Miller at spring training this year and was immediately impressed with his glove work.

    Padres, not the Giants. I got those Rogers' twins, one of whom was a Twin, mixed up. My mistake.

    I am such an idiot. Thanks for gently telling me I am wrong.

    Wanted: One really good, right handed reliever ( I submit Maeda may fill that need) and one really good, left handed reliever (I don't think Smeltzer will fill that need. We had one of the best lefty relievers in the game, but ill- advisedly traded him to the Giants). These relievers need to be able to have pin point location and not walk anybody. Nobody walks but the Twins. Nobody. Duran, Jax and Pagan can be counted on. Cotton may help. The Duffman may get things figured out and be reliable again this season. With this Platinum defense up the middle (Buck and Carlos), plus Kepler and Celestino and Urshela, and Alex at 1B and Polanco at 2B and Arraez at DH, get pitchers who throw the ball over the plate. Maeda could be a key. Next year he can go back to starting.

    Bingo...It is the bullpen.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good, honest article. Thank you.

    This is not a bad problem, having too many players who could help the Twins and who deserve to be playing in the majors, but these decisions will keep a GM up at night. I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions. Of all the proposals I have read in this topic, Rosterman's proposals seem the most reasonable.

    I wonder if Miguel could rehab and then play in AAA? This way he could get his batting eye back, showcase his talent and be available for another team to trade for him without harming the major league team's ongoing quest for the AL Central title. It would be doing Miguel a favor also because he could play 1B, 3B and DH at AAA and hopefully mash a lot of HR's so that another team which needs a DH or 1B can trade for him. Win, Win, Win. I just don't think the current Twins have an available roster spot for him in the majors.

    I don't know about you, but every new job I have ever had required time for me to learn the job and to get up to speed. I have been an umpire in Little League games, a grocery bagger, a machine operator in a cardboard factory, a laborer in a plywood factory, a door to door dictionary salesman, a laborer in the water and sewer department (i.e. a ditch digger), a cab driver, a rifleman in an infantry platoon and a lawyer. I submit a steadily rising learning curve applies to all, including old lawyers and riflemen who survived and General Managers of baseball teams.

    If this was a joke, it was a good one.

    I nominate this for the "Quote" of the year. Hilarious.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'd rather play La Tortuga at SS than Simmons.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Kirilloff was a good selection. He will get it together soon and be a productive big league player (maybe in the Max Kepler type range).

    I do not want the Twins to continuously be living on "Someday Isle". Someday I'll win the pennant, but not this year. Someday I'll win the World Series, but not this year. Therefore, since we can't ever beat the Yankees, let's write off the second half of this season, because we will lose to the Yankees anyway. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! I have never seen a SS on the Twins that is better than Correa. His top of the order offense, his defense (voted best of all players in the American League last year), his winning attitude, his encouragement to the other players, all are exceptional.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    I like this. Sign Correa long term. I like it.
