    So he did well for the Cards and the Nationals the last 2 years. I wonder how the Twins' infield defense compares to the Cards and the Nationals' infield defenses, particularly on the left side?

    If Mauer led off and Buxton batted 9th, then Mauer and his deliberate batting eye, his taking pitches until a strike is thrown and his bat control, may allow Buxton to steal bases at an unprecedented rate for a 9th place batter. I also like it because it doesn't put the pressure of batting leadoff on Buxton, but still allows him to be followed by Mauer for 75 to 80% of his at bats.

    Good stuff. Thanks. Hope to have more similar articles in the future.

    MTM was one of my very favorite actresses. RIP.

    I really appreciate all the time and effort which you put into each of these analyses. Makes me feel like I'm the GM and you are my chief of player development. Great summaries.

    Hope springs eternal in the human breast...and in Fort Myers every March. Pitchers and catchers report in 18 days.

    Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!

    I love reminders like this that these guys are human beings, just like we readers are and that they like to have fun, they care about each other, they enjoy life and they have hopes and dreams, just like we do.

    Good luck to a fine young man. The whole Twins nation is pulling for him to have a successful career in baseball...but he's already a success based on his attitude and his faith.

    I especially liked Nick's last point. I do a lot of negotiating in my job. I want the other side to believe me when I say something. I want my credibility to be established. Those folks whom I don't know are difficult to negotiate with successfully. However if I know my opponent's credibility to be true and honest, based on past experiences, then I respect that and I know he means what he says. It seems to me that Falvey and Levine did not blink and the Dodgers and the GM's of the other teams have taken notice with regard to future dealings with F & L. That is what I am going to take from LA dodging Dozier.

    I hope you are correct about Park. I feel like he has a ton of talent and pride. He has millions of fans in South Korea watching and rooting for him. I predict he will be a pleasant surprise this year and will hit 30 + HR for he Twins. In fact, if he fails to do so, I will "suspend" myself from watching the Twins in the first game of the World Series this year.

    Colton Davis can't be 6'10" and 160 pounds.

    Like the British posters stated as WWII drew closer: Keep calm and carry on.

    Call the Department of Labor. Age discrimination.

    This is a very persuasive argument for trading a good player at a critical position. The flip side is that the Twins do not have a replacement who has shown he is ML ready, plus Zuke would be a good leader for the young pitchers next year, assuming we can sign him for next year. The contract extension talks have "fizzled fast" according to one report. All things considered, I say trade him quickly to a contender for some prospects, while many teams still think they are contenders.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    He was costing the Twins $72,549 per game. I understand your point is that maybe the Twins could have gotten more in return...but I say cut your losses and trade him for whomever as fast as you can. Apparently that is what the Twins did.

    Right field wall

    tarheeltwinsfan commented on Obie's blog entry in Blog Obie

    I have long dreamed and proposed that the incomplete overhang be extended in both directions, ultimately extending from the break in center field to the foul pole. To further add to the new look, scrap the existing boring digital scoreboard- bring back an analog look!, and then recreate a version of the stone arch bridge as "supports" for the overhang, with portions of the scoreboard within each T: http://imagesbyjosh.smugmug.com/Journalism/Blog-P/ATT-ParkRight-Field/868549214_apJLG-M.jpg but built with arches like the most iconic public works project in the state: http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00003oc4yY3fKRw/s/750/mnqual265-75148.jpg That would be beautiful! The Cardinals have incorporated a Mississippi bridge design into their stadium and it is awesome. Please send this to the Twins FO and owners.

    Can you explain this in more detail please.

    Right field wall

    tarheeltwinsfan commented on Obie's blog entry in Blog Obie

    I meant what I wrote...left- handed pitchers so the opposition could not take advantage of the short porch in RF, since their left-handed hitters would have trouble hitting our left-handed pitchers.

    I agree about the right field wall. How can the Twins change the design with good aesthetics, to allow more HR in RF and accommodate the fans viewing the game? Then let's sign a ton of left-handed pitchers.

    Get O'Rourke up now. Let's see what he can do. His numbers are so impressive, he deserves a promotion now. Let's see what he can do against right handed hitters, as well as left handed hitters. He must have something special to have those numbers.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    What about Hughes, Gibson, and Perkins? How is Correia better than those 3?
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Thank you for your optimism...but I'm just tired. I get too frustrated watching the games and expecting a win, or even a well pitched game. I find I'm more comfortable and easier to live with if I view the box scores and the Twins' highlights after the Twins' games, rather than viewing or listening to the games, pitch by agonizing pitch. These last series of disappointments have worn me out. These truly are the dog days of summer.

    She's singing louder!
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    So have I seen enough of Nolasco starting. 49 million dollars! Mauer's hurt again! What's that I hear off in the distance at Target Field? Oh Nooooooooooooooo! It sounds like a fat lady singing. Put up the signs...YARD SALE SATURDAY at Twins Way.
