    Plouffe seems to have the talent. When Plouffe is hot, he is a formidable hitter and a passable fielder. Maybe this will be the year when it all gels for Plouffe.

    I like the fact that even on Christmas day we are thinking baseball. Merry Christmas fellow die-harders.

    Well written. But I won't be surprised if the Twins lose 100 games.

    Diaz looks like he could be the solution to the Twins' problem at SS, but will the Twins be willing to spend the money? I wonder what Diaz might cost.

    Happy holidays to you as well, and best wishes to you and your loved ones.

    I agree and hope that he gets a shot this year.

    Good point. And if the Twins can lose 100 games next year, then maybe they can draft Appel and get him ready by 2015.

    I think that the Cubs are different because they will have plenty of money to spend once they are ready to spend it. And the Astros may never be able to spend very much. I think that the Twins are somewhere in the middle.

    Barry Bonds at #3 seems questionable. And Roger Clemens at #7. With steroids, I suspect that Killebrew would have hit over 1,000 homers.

    The chances of the Twins ending up in last place for the third year in a row seem to be increasing.
  11. glunn
    Good one. I needed something positive and enjoyed this.

    The first step to a solution will be learning to fight the problem instead of each other.

    Liriano has high upside. If he can pitch to his potential, he could win the NL Cy Young. There is a very high risk that he will do poorly, but the upside potential is also very high.

    I am hoping that the FO sees something that we do not, but will be angry of Correia is a total bust as many of us have predicted.
  15. glunn
    Very graphic but probably true.

    Good article. I wonder how much they are paying him.
  17. glunn
    I just stumbled on this site where you can type in a pitcher's name and get all sorts of analysis about what he is worth.

    I think that Santana is getting $25.5 million next year. I wonder what he would be worth on the open market?

    I would like to see Mauer take shot at playing third base, at least part time. Maybe he could play plus defense there, while preserving his knees.
  20. glunn
    That is funny. Over the top but funny.
  21. glunn
    I agree with you but no one else seems to.
  22. glunn
    I agree that Mauer should be appreciated as a great player. I think that he would look a lot better if the Twins were contending.

    I freely admit that I don't know who wrote the Old Testament, who wrote it and when. There are lots of theories, but after researching this rather extensively I have found nothing close to definitive in terms of who the authors were and when and how and why they wrote it. What bothers me is that people are so willing to believe folk tales written by unknown ancient authors that are inherently implausible and often inconsistent. And I give some credence to the theory that a king or two may have been behind the first five books, as part of strategy to control his subjects. This is merely a theory, but if you read the such books, as I have done several times over the years, it makes a lot of sense The fact that no one really knows much about the authors and the circumstances suggests to me that "believers" should at least have some healthy skepticism. The Old Testament has some aspects that are positive and admirable and some that are not, and the fundamentalists have historically exploited the aspects that are negative, including slavery, condemnation of homosexuality and subjugation of women. Without knowing who wrote all this and why, it seems to me that they should be more open to the possibility that the Old Testament is the writings of some ancient people who may have been a lot like Joseph Smith and his elusive golden tablets, i.e charlatans.

    Deduno has electric stuff -- if he could develop more control he could be awesome. Hendriks is solid -- if he could develop an "out" pitch, he could be very good. If I were the Twins, I would give each of them extra coaching in the hope that they can overcome their weaknesses and maximize their strengths. This is likely to be a disaster of a season, but if Deduno could develop more control or Hendriks could develop an out pitch, then they could become valuable assets going forward. And it is at least theoretically possible that Blackburn could get back to his best form.

    My point was NOT that Aspergers was a causative factor. My point was that, taking into account his Aspergers, the shooter may not have been motivated by a desire for fame.
