    I have found that being a Twins fan has meant, "Wait til next year". I guess I'm OK with that. I've been doing exactly that with this franchise for 70 years. Only twice in 70 years has my loyalty to this franchise been rewarded with a championship. My advice to the younger Twins' fans (which is basically everyone reading this post) is "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen now, while you can". And on that happy note, I'm going for a morning walk in the beautiful farmlands of North Carolina.

    Fitzgerald is a smooth fielding SS, based on what I saw in spring training this year. Tonkin walks too many batters. I can excuse the hits, but the walks by a late inning reliever, are so frustrating.

    Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.

    I'm not any more excited about any of them, than I am about Culpepper.
  5. tarheeltwinsfan
    Let's promote him to the Twins and see what he can do.

    What do players look for in a manager?

    Well said Doc. However I live in North Carolina but have been a Senators/Twins fan since 1954 when I was 9 and discovered baseball when my grandparents lived in Washington, DC, where I was born. If anyone here on TD has pulled for this same franchise longer than I have, I'd like to hear about it. Until I hear differently, I will self-proclaim myself the Senior Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins fan. I chose watch the Twins because I enjoy it. I have visited beautiful Minneapolis several times to see the Twins play baseball and to I go to the Twins spring training at Ft. Myers every year because I enjoy it. I do not have the philosophy of "Love it or leave it". I'm stuck with the Twins and the Twins are stuck with me. Yes, I fuss and criticize the Twins some, but that is part of the deal in being a sports fan. So Doc, come on back into the fold and start watching the Twins again. And if I see you at spring training in 2026, I'll buy you a Killebrew Root Beer.

    I could see Moose at 1B. But right now I would rather have Brooks Lee at bat, rather than Wallner at bat, when the game is on the line. But with Wallner at 1B, the OF would have Buck, Jenkins and E-Rod or G. Gonzales? Not bad. Lewis, Culpepper, Keaschall and Wallner in the IF. Jeffers at C, backed up by ? at catcher. Brooks Lee at Utility?
  9. tarheeltwinsfan
    Of all the players in the Twins organization, which player would be the best fit at 1B, and hit accordingly with some power, the next 5 to 8 years at the major league level? I think it could be Brooks Lee. Who do you think it could be?

    The top draft selections of the Twins for the last 3 years all had good games. Get rid of the old deadwood and let the Wichita youngsters learn with on the job training at AAA. It makes no real difference whether Wichita wins the regular season conference and/or the conference tournament.
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    The Twins need to get rid of any older deadwood (Tonkin) and add Morris, Gonzolez, Prielipp and maybe Oliver and Cardenas. Sorry to leave out Cory Lewis and Rosario.

    Great article Matt. Thank you for this really good information.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    The above statement comes from a confessed New York Mets fan. I'm sorry you have had these job experiences. I can assure you this was not my experience during the 52 years when I was an employer.
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'm a member of that 80's club.

    1. Bohorquez, 2. Prielipp had the best July stats of the 5 named pitchers. I understand Abel may be the best prospect, but the criteria is which Twins' minor league starter had the best July, 2025? I really did enjoy your article and the great information about each of the 5 named starters. Thank you.

    I appreciate this heartfelt article about Byron Buxton. He is a great team player with outstanding baseball knowledge and skills. He is a joy to watch play baseball all the time. And from what I can see, he is an even better man. I do disagree with one word however. "The worst part is, he won't say anything." The word "worst" should be changed to "best" .

    Thanks Cody. Last Thursday was brutal for many of us "older" Twins fans. It reminded me of when the old Washington Senators of the 50's and early 60's were perennial losers.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    What is "lawyer ball"?
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    Where is Abel on your revised Twins prospect list? I suggest #5. And Tait #6.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    Nice article. He got the save today. Great story.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Funderburk sure closed out the Cleveland game tonight.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    That may have happened and so C-4 took his baseball and went home.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    The real man in charge in of this team in the clubhouse, was sent to Houston, along with $30,000,000 of the Pohlads' money.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    The thrill of victory AND THE AGONY OF DEFEAT. My Houston Astro friend texted me a thank you for returning his merchandise and for paying for the shipping. I couldn't even think of a clever reply, because he was correct.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    Signing Correa to that huge contract and then a few seasons later giving Correa to the Astros PLUS $33,000,000 just shouts "incompetence" on so many levels. Today the Twins are the laughing stock of major league baseball. Ridiculous!
