    I agree. It was like an electrical charge in the air, ozone high or something. It was very tangible.

    Honorable mention: Jim Eisenreich. A 16th round draft pick out of St. Cloud State, he went from hitting .311 with 23 homers in the Single-A Midwest League in '81 to play CF opening day for the Twins in '82. He batted over .300 and played a good CF, but his season was short circuited by undiagnosed Tourette's Syndrome and his difficulties dealing with it in the high pressure Major Leagues. None of us knew what was happening when in early May in Boston Eisenreich walked off the field holding the hand of Gary Ward. The next 2 seasons he played sparingly, then spent 2 years out of professional baseball getting treatment. He came back and had a great career playing 12 more seasons, ending with a .290 average and a World Series ring with the '97 Marlins. I always wished those seasons could gave been spent playing for the Twins.

    I like beating the Royals by large amounts. Go Twins.

    I like LaMonte Wade in the OF mix.
  5. AceWrigley
    Agreed, but I like the idea of Garver's bat heating up keeping him in the lineup as much as possible.

    Nice article. I think hiding the ball as long as possible is a pitching advantage, giving the hitter less time to track the ball. It seems this front office has the ability to pinpoint certain players in other organizations they feel they can work with should they become available. This sounds simple but not always easy to produce results. Makes it extra fun when they pick up a guy.

    You come to play.

    A nice straight-up stance with little pre-swing movement. Nice wrist action. If he can keep his swing from getting too long and wait on pitches he could be something special . . . dang.

    << To add some fun....saw the idea of removing the screens protecting the cardboard people.....make foul balls a lot more fun........ >> Oh heck yes!!!! This is brilliant. Imagine a foul tip that would usually hit the screen nail one of the cardboard hecklers separating his head from the rest of his fake carcass. Would make this season infinitely more interesting. Priceless.

    I find this picture somehow disturbing. At least Sponge Bob looks like he's having a good time.

    Let's not forget softballer Aaron Whitefield making his debut as a pinch runner, scoring a run and getting to shag a flyball.
  12. AceWrigley
    Coming to America . . . where's Fernando?

    I'll say it now: Eddie Rosario will win the AL Batting Title.

    "Once again the talent-laden Minnesota offense completely shut down on the biggest stage." You would think realism would only go so far. Big-Game Eddie, how we miss you.

    I saw Noel Paul Stookey in a one-man concert a millennium ago, on campus at Concordia I think. A mix of music and stories that illuminate his life and make yours brighter. Awesome.

    If any records fall, I see an asterisk attached to them.

    Last year Kepler had reverse splits L vs R. Re-upping his game vs RHP would make this awesome lineup even deadlier.
  18. AceWrigley
    I didn't think turtles could catch this thing.

    So, Parker Hageman is still alive.
  20. AceWrigley
    Not necessarily. In 2006 when we had expectations of a good season (and ended up winning the division), the Twins were 12-18 and 9 games out of 1st place after 30 games. After 60 games their record was 27-33 and 10.5 games out. This is what a 60 game season is, a sprint. It won't really tell you if your team is good or bad (except this year), just a 60 game stretch in most seasons.

    It's such a weird year for MLB and no MiLB. If there is injury or illness we might see a few guys we weren't really counting on. I would expect that since the Twins are in it to win this year, who ever is called up will be the player most likely to help immediately rather than development time at the MLB level. But then, who knows. What happens if the Twins falter out of the gate and some other teams start out hot and 30 games in (half the season) you're 8 games out with only 30 to play? It's gonna be a sprint to the finish this year. Hang on to your butts.

    Being a top prospect and being major league ready are 2 different things. Javier has a ways to go to be considered for a MLB roster which is why I think he cleared the Rule 5 draft.
  23. AceWrigley
    I knew Jack Reinheimer would make it. Wait . . . what?
  24. AceWrigley
    6 catchers - Gardy would approve.
