    Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on.

    Way to go Lurch. Keep fighting. I'm sure I speak for all of the TD family when I say we are pulling for you. Good news on Lewis, Gordon, Littell and Busenitz. I'm afraid the Twins must do something to remove Hughes from the roster, but I don't know what the best move for the Twins would be "financially" regarding his contract. It is what it is.

    "The Stone Crabs kept clawing their way back into the game." Nicely done Ted.

    Ouch! Point made.

    Polanco will be the SS when he gets back at mid-season. I wonder how long it will take Polanco to get up to speed once he returns. I really think that is part of Lynn's current problems...he missed spring training and his yin is not lined up with his yang.

    In addition EE is a plus in the clubhouse (I have read). Forward thinking article. I like it.

    Thanks for a very informative and entertaining article.

    This post made me laugh out loud...and it is 4 in the morning. I can go back to bed now.

    Thanks Steve. I like his attitude.

    If 30 more sign up with the Air Force Academy that will cost US taxpayers 30 x $100,000 for the cost of 4 years at this elite academy...which is $3,000,000 for their educations then $50,000 per year for these 30 to play baseball while in the US Air Force. That's $1,500,000 more tax dollars to pay these "world class athletes" to play baseball for 1 year. 4 years of this would be $6,000,000. Add that to the cost of the education and you get a grand total of $9,000,000 for these 30 "world class athletes" to do what Griffin Jax will be doing, minus his 1 year of actual service in the military. Let's hope these 30 don't each attract 30 more world class athletes to attend the Air Force Academy.

    I may be the only one asking this question, but I feel it needs to be asked. The taxpayers paid for Jax to attend the Air Force Academy because he signed a contract and swore an oath to protect and defend the United States of America for 4 years in the Air Force after graduating from the U.S. Air Force Academy. Now, less than 1 year after his graduation, the taxpayers are paying Jax's salary, not to serve in the Air Force the remaining 3 years of his commitment, but rather the taxpayers are paying him $50,000 a year to play minor league baseball because he is a world class baseball player? Just asking.

    There's nowhere to go but up.

    Really good article and videos. Thanks.

    "F.I.N.E." means "First In New Experiences"...as in sweeping the Yankees in the playoffs and qualifying for the World Series Baby!

    I agree with Mr. Brooks post 100%. The Chief was right on 99%. Excellent post by The Chief.

    The Twins have been playing without the two starters at the two most important defensive positions: CF and SS. The CF'er won the award as the best defensive player in the American League last year.He is the fastest player in the major leagues. This has been a critical loss. The SS is a major league starting SS who batted 3rd a lot last season. There was an element of comfort with Polanco. The Twins also have been playing without their best starting pitcher from last year, who last year, appeared to be a positive influence, not only on Berrios, but on the entire team.. I am afraid that I also agree with the previous comment in this thread that the chemistry of Lynn, Rodney, Morrison may be toxic. None of those three appear to me to be team oriented players. To put it as kindly as I can, they all appear to be unique individuals. Add that to the mix. However all is not lost...yet. The leaders in the clubhouse, whomever they may be, need to step up, and if they feel they have been doing so, then try something different because this ain't working.

    I wouldn't say Hughes was injured, Just admit that Hughes is disabled from throwing satisfactory pitches to major league hitters.

    Good debut for Graterol. He was impressive.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Reminds me of a wonderful song by Etta James: "At Last".
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Thank you for this informative article. It points out a weakness in major league depth.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    What about 3B Andrew Bechtold being shifted to catcher? He has good size and a 60 rated arm. However maybe catcher is a position which takes more years to learn than other positions? Can the Twins get a good young catcher by a trade. Does any organization have an excess of young catchers? The Twins are 1 injury away from calling up a minor league catcher. Who would be called up in the event of an injury to Castro or Garver?
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Of all Twins' prospects, I feel Rortvelt is in the top 5 who need to progress the quickest and be major league ready the soonest. Who else do the Twinkies have in the minors who can shift positions to become a successful major league catcher?

    22 to 4 so far in 2 games. The Yankees are laughing at us. Coming on the heels of losing 3 to the Rays, including a Carlos Gomez walk-off. I sure hope this is the low point of the season.
