    The Twins no longer are headquartered at Lake Woebegone, where the hitters are strong, two of the numerous TV announcers are good looking, and the free agents are slightly above average.

    SD, if that is your real ID, thanks for the BS report. Let's keep this secret mission of TL on the QT so the NYY won't realize TL is BS'ing the NYY. (The scary part is that I kinda believe SD.)

    Best wishes to Mr. Park. The Twins and he gave it a shot and it didn't work out. Onward and upward!

    His dad, Randy, played basketball at UNC. Go Heels!

    Nice article.

    To bunt or not to bunt, that is the question.

    As a die hard Twins fan, I am very thankful for Twins Daily. Through Twins Daily I am connected to other Twins' fans, even though I live 1,120 miles away in North Carolina and have no local publications which write anything about the Twins. I felt some connection with Twins' fans through MLB.com...but MLB.com lacked the thoughtful analyses of TD and has a rough internet edge to it. TD feels more like a family to me. I have several "families". So this Thanksgiving, in addition to my family here in North Carolina and Maryland, and those who have passed, my work family at my law office, and my long ago army buddies who served with me in and along the Korean DMZ, I have added an additional family to be thankful for...I am thankful for my Twins Daily family. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving.

    Buxton is a human highlight show. He is the most exciting Twin I ever remember watching play. I hope his head is screwed on straight, because he is starting to attract national attention...and it is justified. My best advice to him is to watch and pay attention to Tony Oliva, Torii Hunter, Michael Cuddyer, Brian Dozier, Joe Mauer, Paul Molitor, Ervin Santana and James Rowson.

    I hope Nishi's scouts aren't the same ones who are so anxious to sign another player from Japan.
  10. tarheeltwinsfan
    When you say "American-born", are you referring to North America, South America, or Central America? I realize they are not 3 countries, but rather are made up of dozens of countries. I guess a better example would have been Nishi, who is also from Japan, and to my way of thinking, was one of the worst signing blunders by the Twins ever. But you know what, I'll give Nishi credit...he realized he was "out of his league" here in the USA and allowed the Twins to keep some of his contract money.

    Well, I may not be the biggest Twins' fan in NC (I still think I am), but I probably have been pulling for this franchise longer...since 1954, when I went to Griffith Stadium in DC with my brother and our grandfather. Saw Roy Seivers, Eddie Yost, Clint Courtney, Chuck Stobbs and Dean Stone. Of course the Senators lost to the Tigers that day, but it was the start of my love for the Senators/Twins. Top that, NCtwinsfan.

    I believe Molitor is a quick learner.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    Ted, I like the way you think.

    2 Gold Gloves, a consensus Defensive Player of the Year, Manager of the Year. The thrill of the playoffs (albeit a quick thrill). Awesome. I really enjoyed the 2017 season. Thank you to the Twins organization from the biggest Twins fan in North Carolina. See you in Fort Myers in March.

    Why do you think he would not want to come to sunny Minnesota?
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Relief is just a swallow away. The Twins should sign a free agent named Speedy, who has been out of work for a while now. He specializes in Fast Relief. His fastball is effervescent.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    Ouch!
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    So he is sort of an indentured servant?
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    I submit that the Twins have veteran leadership already. Let's give the young players the experience they need
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    That is an average of 5.125. Not bad. The left side needs improvement.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    What do you call a player who is awarded a Gold Glove award, even though his advanced metrics aren't the best at the position? THE GOLD GLOVE WINNER! Hardy congratulations to Buck and Bull Dozer. I am extremely happy for both of them.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good luck to Dougie Baseball.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Prayers for Rick's family and his baseball friends.

    Advanced sabermetrics show Molitor to be 11 WAG-E (Wins Above Gardenhire minus Ejections), whereas any one of us here at TD could have managed either of those two powerhouse rosters at Cleveland or Houston and won the pennant...thereby giving both Hinch and Francona 0 WAR-E.

    Funny.
