    I wish I had not read this post. Ouch!

    I agree. Let's see what this former college pitcher can do at the ML level. How will it hurt anything? I'm not sure I agree with the "let him build up confidence in the minors" theory. Or has he been over used in college this season already and needs to be used sparingly the rest of this season? The ML club isn't going anywhere this year. Maybe his 100 mph heat and 91 mph sliders will light a fire under the Twins and help get them excited again.

    . Aiken's agent gambled that he could leverage the deals and satisfy his clients. If that were true that the agent was trying to leverage these two deals for his two clients, wouldn't that be a conflict of interest for the agent to represent both clients?

    I'm quoting Gunnarthur "That said, isn't he used to dating hollywood types? I don't think he'd want to come to MN anyway." Uh oh Gun...I want to go officially on record right here, right now and state that there are many, many absolutely gorgeous women in Minnesota.

    No way do the Twins want to sign 29 year old Kemp. $21,000,000 for 2014. $21,500,000 for 2015. It gets worse...totaling $107,000,000 through 2019 season. His BIS Defensive Runs Saved Above Average is -44 in 2014 and for his 9 year career, he has averaged -12. He only has 8 HR this year and is hitting .270. Last year he hit .269. His WAR is -1.2 this year. There are reasons he is not an everyday CF...but at $21,000,000 per year, he would be an albatross.

    Where we will be: KLaw and I feel that Sano will end up in LF.

    Sano will end up in LF.

    Right field wall

    tarheeltwinsfan commented on Obie's blog entry in Blog Obie

    I have long dreamed and proposed that the incomplete overhang be extended in both directions, ultimately extending from the break in center field to the foul pole. To further add to the new look, scrap the existing boring digital scoreboard- bring back an analog look!, and then recreate a version of the stone arch bridge as "supports" for the overhang, with portions of the scoreboard within each T: http://imagesbyjosh.smugmug.com/Journalism/Blog-P/ATT-ParkRight-Field/868549214_apJLG-M.jpg but built with arches like the most iconic public works project in the state: http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I00003oc4yY3fKRw/s/750/mnqual265-75148.jpg That would be beautiful! The Cardinals have incorporated a Mississippi bridge design into their stadium and it is awesome. Please send this to the Twins FO and owners.

    Seth would you agree that SS is the most critical position for fielding on a team? How can you justify Jeter's Defensive WAR of negative 9.4? Jeter was a gamer, a great hitter, a hustler, a leader, but he was a poor fielder at a critical position.

    How about an OF of Sano, Buxton and Arcia/Rosario?
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'm looking forward to seeing which one of these two stays at SS and which one moves to 3B. Sano will end up in LF, I think due to his size. He'll only get bigger than he is right now.

    We need a catcher and a LH starter to add to this list.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    Can you explain this in more detail please.
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    Tall enough.

    Right field wall

    tarheeltwinsfan commented on Obie's blog entry in Blog Obie

    I meant what I wrote...left- handed pitchers so the opposition could not take advantage of the short porch in RF, since their left-handed hitters would have trouble hitting our left-handed pitchers.

    Are you thinking of Nishi?

    Right field wall

    tarheeltwinsfan commented on Obie's blog entry in Blog Obie

    I agree about the right field wall. How can the Twins change the design with good aesthetics, to allow more HR in RF and accommodate the fans viewing the game? Then let's sign a ton of left-handed pitchers.

    Sam Fuld has been a pleasant surprise. BA .285...10 SB...few SO's...some speed in CF. He's having a typical Span year, when Span batted lead-off for the Twins. What about moving him to batting second in the lineup...or even lead-off? He has prototypical lead-off numbers at this point in the season.

    News Flash! Scott Diamond has signed with the Pirates. His pitching flaw has been discovered and has been corrected. He is regularly topping 100 mph on the radar. He starts for the Pirates Friday night.

    Dozier...Dozier!

    Good Matty.

    Now Cola comes out of the dugout...what happened to my double switch? I guess it is 6 of one and half a dozen of the other as it is turning out. Probably was going to replace Deduno anyway, with his pitches going everywhere.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Typical Deduno...the ball is all over the place.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Why not double switch here, Cola for Hughes and Deduno for Morales?
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    Get O'Rourke up now. Let's see what he can do. His numbers are so impressive, he deserves a promotion now. Let's see what he can do against right handed hitters, as well as left handed hitters. He must have something special to have those numbers.
