    Because of this web site and all the owners and contributors, I don't feel so isolated, as the biggest Twins fan here in North Carolina. In North Carolina we have news about the Panthers, the Hornets/Bobcats/Hornets, the Hurricanes, the beloved Tarheels and the hated Duke (rhymes with puke) Blue Devils. As far as news in North Carolina, there is nothing, nada, zero, zip about the Twins. Now with TD I can access wonderful Twins' news, pictures, videos, rumors (thanks DaveW) and most importantly, intelligent discussions, anytime of day or night. I can actually be a part of the discussions. I can even suggest a topic for discussion and get responses from other Twins fans. I feel at TD I have a group of friends with whom I can share intelligent and positive (mostly) thoughts and ideas about the Twins. Thinking back on my life, I realize how important pulling for the Senators, and now Twins, has been for me. I've enjoyed every minute of being a Twins fan...even the years when the Twins had a poor won/lost record. Those years of being a Senators' fan before they moved to Minneapolis, steeled me for long seasons of many losses. So I salute you, TD owners. Thanks for everything. And as Bob Hope would have said: "Thanks for the memories". See you in Fort Myers in 10 days!

    I had some trouble accessing my TD account several months ago and was able to gain access through twinstaheelsfan, even though my name is tarheeltwinsfan. I just want you to know I am one and the same. I prefer tarheeltwinsfan. Hope to meet some of you at Ft. Myers.

    Who will be Vielma's replacement after he breaks all four of the fingers on his left hand, by holding his bat like that while bunting?
  5. tarheeltwinsfan
    These reports are hope-filled. I am looking forward to seeing what these 5 can accomplish this year...especially Arraez and Vielma. Thanks

    Twins new motto is: "Defense" instead of hit it over "the fence"! I like it.

    My tee shirt for Spring Training 2017 says: "Worst to First-2017"

    What a beautiful phrase..."As the winter draws to a close...." Pitchers and catchers report in SIX DAYS! How many of you TD contributors will be at spring training for the opening game with the Rays and on Sunday to see the Twins whip the Nationals? My wife and I are driving down Thursday and Friday Feb 23rd and 24th. I hope to meet some of you there on Friday evening, Sat morning, Sunday all day. We will start driving back to North Carolina after the Twins/Nationals game is over on Sunday.

    Possibly Erroneously Calculated Organzational Team Averages Hmmm.

    How about Adrianza?
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good stuff. Thanks.

    I really thought it was a great post.

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

    Another reminder of how human these players are and how badly they want to succeed.

    MTM was one of my very favorite actresses. RIP.

    He's just a 22 year old kid...but then so was I when I was an infantryman in the army.

    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.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    I wish him well.

    Hope springs eternal in the human breast...and in Fort Myers every March. Pitchers and catchers report in 18 days.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    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.
