    I guess you mean Tom Glavine, rather than Dan Glaven.

    Doc, Thanks for taking the time to research and write this article. I am a hope filled Twinkie.

    No way I'd trade Dozier for Big Poopi. Dozier is fast becoming one of my all time favorite Twin players. Just saying.

    Trade Darnell

    Plus Gordon is a shortstop, the key IF position, the most difficult position for any major league team to fill. Draft Gordon if the "big 3" are gone.

    Interesting article which is a tribute to Hughes and the Twins' coaching staff. This article emphasizes the multiple variables which go into being a good pitcher. Baseball, especially pitching, really is a thinking man's game.

    MVP...MVP...MVP

    He looked pretty strong last night hitting the upper deck, and again tonight, going deep again...and raising his BA significantly. What signs of fatigue are you referring to?
  9. tarheeltwinsfan
    But how does the ball come out of his hand?

    Interesting post. I guess all I can say is that's why we play the games. Did anyone project both the Twins and the Braves going from worst to first in 1991? I doubt it.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't take a degree in statistics to say Dozier will not hit 40 HR this year. My hope is that he does and I'll be forced to eat these words. This leads me to the following question: exactly how does one eat his words when they are electronically conveyed?

    Meyer. I realize some say wait, however he appears to be the best we have now at any level, including the major leagues. Let's get this pitcher pitching at the highest level and stop wasting time and his arm. He won't stop learning in the majors...in fact his learning curve has a higher ceiling playing against the best and with presumably the best coaches and manager and the helpful teammates. Better competition makes good players better players.

    Good article, Parker. Thanks.
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    It should be "Join Seth and me"

    I wish I was at the game, but since I'm in North Carolina, the computer is the next best thing.

    I would remain a Twins franchise fan. It's been a love/hate relationship ever since my grandfather took me to my first major league game in old Griffith Stadium in Washington to watch the hometown Senators lose to the Detroit Tigers. Go figure. Thus began my difficult childhood as a Washington Senators fan, living in North Carolina. I was bullied by 11 year old Yankee and Indian and Giants fans, who taunted me by saying: "Washington? You pull for the Washington Senators? They are: First in war, first in peace, and last in the American League". What other franchise has a taunt all its own? I did have two brief shinning moments in 1987 and 1991...but the last three years of Twins' losses have given me flashbacks of the Senators of the 1950's:Herb Plews, Clint "Scrap Iron" Courtney, Angel Skull, Lyle Luttrell, and little Albie Pearson. Now decades later ,I can hear the sing song chanting: "Last in the American League, last in the American League" as I drift off into another night of restless sleep, dreaming of dropped pop-ups by Twins shortstops, a grand slams by J.J. Hardy in an Orioles uniform and Red Sox David Ortiz, and a bat flip by Go Go Gomez in a Brewers uniform as he homers at Target Field and slowly walks round the bases sneering at the hapless Twins' pitcher. I hear Gomez speaking in Spanish...and it sounds like..."pitch to contact". If only I'd been born in New York or St. Louis!

    I vote no on the Perk for Ethier trade. I'm not opposed to trading Perk...I just think we can get more for Perk. Like maybe Span...or Revere...or Go Go Gomez...or Hardy...or Cuddy...or Garza...or Liriano...or Ramos...or Hunter...etc. Yikes we have gotten rid of some good players.

    I'll take that bet. I'll put up $1.00 at 1,000 to 1 odds that Santana stays in the majors and never looks back. Do we have a bet?

    The Twins are recreating the Equitable Old Timers Games by roster moves. "Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end."
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Beautifully written piece John. Thanks.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Dozier is a class guy, having gone on a Christian mission trip. He is they type of player I want my grandson to look up to.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    When will that be...June?
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    OK...Let's say you have a baseball team. You have a choice of picking a pitcher for one game, which will determine whether your team gets into the World Series or not. You have to chose between Pelfrey, Correia, or Meyer to start the game for your team. The game is this Friday. Which pitcher do you chose and why?
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    The Twins need to be shopping Correia and Pelfrey now for prospects. The Twins and other teams know what to expect from Correia. He has been consistent and predictable. Every time there is an injury to a starter, Anthony should be on the phone immediately to the injured pitcher's GM and see what can be worked out. Pelfrey will not bring as much on a trade because he is not as predictable as Correia and has pitched worse than Correia.
