    Having a number 3 hitter with 3 home runs after 40% of the season seems like a bigger fool's errand to me.

    I would want my best hitter hitting 3rd. So far, that has not been Mauer. I'm sure you would agree that at some point Mauer could need to be moved from the 3 spot. How long should Gardy wait before moving Mauer, is the question?

    Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight; I wish I May, I wish I Meyer, have the wish I wish tonight.

    Thanks. I enjoyed reading this. It took lots of time to study and arrange and write. I admire you for being willing to suffer the slings and arrows of our fellow posters. Good stuff.

    Twins sign Morales. The Red Wings have some really good AAA pitchers. Help is on the way. Twins draft Gordon as the future SS. Burdi can throw serious heat at 103 mph. Gibson just shut out Houston and Santana went 4 for 5. All I can say is..."The years at the spring; And day's at the morn; ... The lark's on his wing; The snail's on the thorn; God's in His heaven; All's right with the world!"

    How about Achter with a 0.67 WHIP?

    Now who else agrees with Willihammer and me: "We are 100% in this thing."? Let's hope the Twins also feel this way.

    AJ, To quote Bob Hope: "Thanks for the memories." Now onward and upward. You'll be fine young man. I hope you keep writing. I especially admire your honesty in your writing. I hope you will keep in touch.

    OK Twins Daily posters. I look forward to your thoughts about this unforeseen move by the Twins. I really am shocked.
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'm not as interested in what Gardy or the front office has to say, as I am in what they do. Actions speak louder than words. We fans can see who is pitching for the Twins each night and we can see how the guys in AAA and AA are doing. It is time for some changes in the starting rotation. As Willihammer said in another thread yesterday: "We are 100% in this thing."

    In 2013 only 9 pitchers in all of major league baseball threw pitches faster than 101 mph. www.efastball.com/baseball/stats/fastest-pitch. It was reported Burdi threw 103 mph this year and threw over 100 mph occasionally. Only A. Chapman topped 103 in 2013. Burdi's strikeout to walk ratio was outstanding this year. I know, I know...there are no guarantees, but that is true with any player selected in the draft, especially pitchers. I also think a flame thrower who occasionally goes over 100 mph which registers on the scoreboard draws the attention of the crowd, excites his teammates, and the opposition notices too...and says, "Man he is really bringing some serious heat". I contend that helps the flame thrower's team psychologically. Burdi's selection at #46 was a steal.

    No way, No way, No way.

    Willi: Thanks for making your point with facts. May I remind everyone the following: "100 mph on the radar gun!"
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    100 mph on the radar gun. That's all I need to hear. I know, I know...the ball has to have some movement and must go where the pitcher throws it and there must be at least one other pitch...but I say: Great second round pick at # 46. Bring on the heat!
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    I am thrilled with this selection. I understand there are no guarantees, but his baseball skills, his supportive family, and his positive attitude are all so very important. Plus he is a SHORTSTOP, arguably the most difficult position to fill. Great selection Twins. To quote Deron Johnson: "We got our man!"

    I believe there was a possibility that Buxton would have been promoted from Double A this year, had he not hurt his wrist. I understand that would have been pushing him, but look at the problems we've had in CF this year. However according to Brad Steil, the Twins Director of Minor League Operations, Buxton cannot swing a bat yet.

    To quote J.M.Barrie: "I do believe in fairies. I do! I do!"
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    I think you are right.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'm in. The Twins win the 2014 World Series in 7 games, 3 of which are played in snow.

    Jeremy, Thank you for your draft articles. They are enjoyable and informative.
