    From that article [called How to Break Pitchers] I get what you're saying. "Breaking in pitchers as relievers worked when the jobs were closer in their practice than they are today. Now, teams don't roster swingmen or long relievers." "Back in '65, when Weaver broke in Palmer, there were 454 relief appearances in which a pitcher threw at least 3 1/3 innings." I can't say what the Twins original plan was when they moved May to the bullpen, other than they wanted a guy with a big fastball in the pen. If May had been used more as the Long Relievers of yore [or Juan Berenguer] he would have been more "stretched out", so to speak. Throwing harder [and more frequently] than he had previously as a starter in MiLB exacerbated his back problem and probably the cause of the torn ulnar collateral ligament.

    If the starting rotation starts with Santana, Santiago, Gibson and Hughes, then choose from one of the young guys: Berrios, Duffey or Mejia. I also think, of the last 3 already mention for the rotation, at least one of them should go. I don't really agree with the resigning of both Santiago and Gibson. At some point, you have to move on with youth.

    Ah, my young padawan: Much to learn, have you. I see not mention of beer.

    Overall, I'm liking what I'm hearing from and about May. I hope the Twins monitor his back issues closely so it doesn't become a 'thing' again. D. Santana: hasn't this been kinda typical for him?

    I like the concept of getting more OBP people in front of Dozier. Buxton seems the odd duck, but maybe this will be the big year for him. With a guy like Polanco at the bottom of the order, well, could lead to some really fun baseball to watch. And if we're mixing and matching a lineup to have more of those OBP people in front of sluggers, wouldn't the Twins be moving Kepler in front of Sano? Eschew the 'traditional lineups' sayz I !!

    “Bonds told me just try to hit hard ground balls, hit the ball through the pitcher’s forehead,” To do that, aren't you actually applying the "lift" theory? If Kepler hit's like he's projected too, he'll be pretty OK.

    Jake Reed, Aaron Slegers, Alex Wimmers and Drew Rucinski have been assigned to pitch for Team USA

    Got to watch a couple of these guys play on TV: Jorge and Mejia. Jorge was about what I expected: heck of an arm, but a bit wild. And he needs some fielding work. He booted a bunt. Mejia looked like an 'all arm' guy. He could use his size to better advantage.

    "The strategy this season seems to be surrounding these youngsters with mentally-capable veterans". Totally agree. Almost seems like the Twins have a plan this year.
