    I agree the Twins need pitching now, but you can't solve today's problem areas in a draft. In a draft, you try to prevent future problem areas, 4-8 years down the road.

    Jeremy, This is one of the best, well thought out articles I have read on TD. Thanks.

    Even if Wright projects as a #2 starter, there are so many #1 or #2 SP's who get injured and require TJ surgery or something along the way. Wright is 4 years older than Lewis. Lewis is fast. He can play SS, 2B, 3B, CF, LF, RF. Drafting one of the best prep hitters, if not the best, who is extremely fast, who plays SS, which can be changed to 5 other positions if SS doesn't pan out was just a really smart, safe, "bet". Lewis can be something special.

    I'm happy, happy, happy.

    I have 2 questions for all you naysayers: 1) Do you plan on being a Twins fan in 5 years? 2) Do you think shortstop will still be one of the most, if not the most, valuable defensive positions in 5 years?
  6. tarheeltwinsfan
    Dozier is one of my favorite Twin players, but I don't think he has the arm to play 3B.
  7. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree. You are so wright!

    I just reread my post. I left the word "at" out. I didn't buy Century Link Field...I bought a green Lucky Twins shirt "at" Century Link Field. Sorry.
  9. tarheeltwinsfan
    Yes.
  10. tarheeltwinsfan
    Specifically how might this work with Mackenzie Gore as the Twins' first pick?

    The odds are better now than they were before the season started (I think I read 20-1 before the start of the season). However my bookie, Vinny Goombah, says take the 13 to 2 odds. Therefore I have withdrawn the max from my 401 k plan and put it all on the Twins to win it all in 2017. Plus I have my green Lucky Twins shirt that I bought at Century Link Field last spring. None of the magic was used last season, so the magic must still be in the shirt.

    There's a reason he was demoted and released.

    What is Cash's first name? I can't find him on the Dodger major league or minor league rosters.
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    Did you dad ever say to you, "Cause I said so"? I remember my dad saying that a lot. Well, I want Kintzler and Duffy switched because Nick is an owner and he said so!
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    What must Curtiss do next month to improve on his numbers in May so he can be the TD Relief Pitcher of the Month for June? Inquiring minds want to know.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    I, for one, like the idea of Kintzler and Duffy switching roles, given our current bullpen makeup..
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    Is Matt Capps available? If so, we could trade Nick Gordon for Capps. (No, no guys, I'm just kidding about this.) I wonder who in the Twins FO actually approved the Capps for Ramos trade? That was a mistake then and evolved into a huge mistake as the years have gone by and Ramos improved and Capps, bless his heart, did his best.

    If Haley's repertoire is what he exhibited yesterday, can someone explain why he has a roster spot for this year.

    Remember John W. Benbow, P-51 Mustang pilot killed over Japan July 16, 1945...he was my uncle from Greensboro, NC; remember my high school football team's captain, Murray Moseley, Statesville,NC killed Vietnam 1966; Remember Ardry Barringer in my youth group at church in Statesville, NC, killed Vietnam 1967; remember my fraternity brother at UNC, Ted Edwards, killed Vietnam 1968; remember Michael Rymarczuk from Philadelphia in my platoon - 3rd platoon, Charlie Company, 3/23rd Infantry , 2nd Infantry Division,killed in Korean DMZ July 30, 1968.

    That was a brutal 6 hours!
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    After watching him cover home plate yesterday, I suggest his nickname be "El Gato".
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'm sure you can come up with a better name than the one you selected. I won't be listening just based on the name you selected.

    Until it breaks, don't try to fix it. A catcher's position should be the leader on the field during a game. They call the pitches to be thrown by the pitchers. They call meetings on the mound and calm the pitchers down and tell the pitchers what's working and what's not working. The catcher is the "on-field" coach. Falvey had a good reason for signing Gimenez and Castro. Castro is a Stanford grad. Gimenez attended the University of Nevada. Both Castro and Gimenez are positive personalities and experienced leaders on the field. All our defensive starters are young and inexperienced, except Dozier and Mauer. I can say lots of wonderful things about Dozier and Mauer, but just based on watching the Twins on tv (therefore I have very little basis for what I'm about to say), it doesn't appear to me that Dozier or Mauer are "on the field, rah, rah, team leaders". Most young players and most pitchers benefit from a smart, experienced, take charge- catcher. It's all about defense and pitching and the defensive leader and the pitching leader on the field is the catcher.

    Defense! Defense! Defense!

    Heck, I believe in the Twins every Spring Training until they really get bad...which hasn't happened yet this year.
