    I'm not impressed with his website.

    1) I'm afraid the odds are against any of these 5 pitching well enough to be of any help to the Twins. What if even 1 of the five proved effective. The odds are still 80% that the Twins won't select the 1 of the 5 that will help. 2) Give our best young pitchers experience in the majors, which they all will eventually need in order to succeed, rather than signing any of these 5. Please.

    All together now: "You've gotta have heart, miles and miles of heart. When the odds are saying you'll never win, that's when the grin should start...yes, you gotta have heart." quoted from the great musical, "Damn Yankees". Pretty ironic, isn't it!

    What if the Twins build a strong bullpen, ala Yankees this year and Royals when they won it all recently?

    Are you saying top players won't sign with Minnesota because....why? No chance to win as a Twin? Too cold? Lack of "big time" media coverage? Low salaries? I

    Sign Darvish. Period.
  7. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree 100%

    Is Matt Capps available?

    I'm taking this home with me to read tonight...cover to cover. Thanks to all who contributed. I don't know how I would get through these cold 30 to 70 degree winters here in North Carolina without something to read while I drink my sweet iced tea and munch on country ham, grits with red-eye gravy, cooked apples and fluffy hot biscuits with blackberry jam. And as Phil Harris used to sing on the radio in the 1940's..."That's what I like about the South". Happy fall, ya'll.

    This particular shin stress reaction is distressing to me...and it's only November 2nd.

    Good article. Thanks.

    Dozier is my favorite Twin, but I don't think he has the arm for 3B.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree 100%.

    I may be the only one here, but I don't like it. I just never have liked putting someone down when I have just beaten that person. Nor have I enjoyed being put down when I have just lost. I don't show off in court when I win an emotional case, I simply put my files in my briefcase, shake hands with the opposing counsel and walk out with my client. I don't do it playing a game of cards with my buddies. I just was raised not to do it. Maybe it's because I was raised Presbyterian, where the men are good looking, the women are strong and the children don't celebrate victories.

    Mark Davidson, the 4th outfielder, on the 87 Twins is from my hometown, Statesville, NC. In July 1987 Mark invited me to Minneapolis to see a 4 game series with Oakland. When the Oakland Athletics arrived they were tied with the Twins for first place. 4 days later the Athletics left town 4 games behind the Twins. It was the best 4 days of my life! I got to sit with the Twins' family members at the games and to meet Harmon Killebrew, Wally the Beer Man and Tony Oliva and other Twins' greats because it was the Equitable Old Timers game that weekend also. Friends, it just doesn't get any better than that.

    Instead of asking where Houston was 2-3 years ago. look at where the Twins were 2-3 years ago. Vast improvement.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    I hope he succeeds in AA/AAA next year. We shall see.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    Excellent writing. Thanks for sharing.

    Bob Sacamento (or B.S. for short) Thanks for this update. I always enjoy hearing your perspectives, since you are there in Ft. Myers and especially since you have injury treatment knowledge due to your profession, that none of the rest of us have. I'll always remember meeting you last year and telling you I had pitched in high school and that I was starting to throw softball with my 11 year old stepdaughter. You asked one question with a big grin on your face: "How's your shoulder?" You somehow knew my shoulder was killing me...and you told me you had seen that happen many times in your profession. You were spot on. I'll look for you at Ft. Myers in March. I'll contact you and let you know when we will be coming to Ft. Myers.

    I may trade him for a healthy. true ace pitcher, who is under 30 years old, right now.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Thanks Ted for this exciting news.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Beautiful article about a good man.

    I contend Mauer is more valuable to the team as a 1B than as a 3B. He saved numerous errant throws from the other infielders. He would have fewer chances at 3B to allow his superior fielding skills shine. On the other hand Sano is better suited at 3B than 1B due to his rocket arm, which is perfect for 3B and is just wasted at DH or 1B.

    Good luck to Andrew. Hope to see you in the majors soon.

    LaTroy Hawkins is needed daily in the clubhouse in some capacity.
