The Joe M thing reminds me of something someone said to me once. I found out that her name was Lois, and I told her about a club in the Twin Cities called the Lois club. (It actually exists, and you c

I'm ok with a longer look at Granite

Buxton can take his time. Zach Granite is looking better and better out there. I like this kid's quick, flat swing. Built for a high average. Byron will have his job back the moment he feels healthy. Meantime, it's fun watching Granite.

I agree. I wonder if Granite could make Grossman the odd man out?

 I agree. I love watching him remind me of Ben Revere throwing it in from center.... and that baseball IQ for a guy so young........

Yup. If Zach Granite does at this level what he was doing at AAA, the Twins have no reason to keep Robbie Grossman around. His walks are nice, but otherwise, Granite's overall game is better. Plus, the Twins can use a serious base stealer in the lineup, or at least on the bench.

Go to St Cloud it's called the Granite City, lots of granite to look at. Relatives I bet.

 

I've been to St. Cloud a couple of times. 

 

It's like one big blob of retail. 

 

I drove around the entire town and all I saw were businesses. 

 

Where do the people live? Where are the residential zones. I saw no houses anywhere.

Dick mentioned Granite leading off which, if the guy continues to hit, isn't a bad thought. 

 

And there have been a couple of times earlier this year it would have been nice to have Granite to bring in as a defensive replacement.

Dick just asked how Garcia compares to Santiago. He needs to be given a one month suspension from FSN for that, I just threw up. On that topic, has anyone ever watched a FSN televised game in the past 5 years in which Dick has not been present? I feel like he hasn't missed a single game in years, and kudos to his dedication, but does he have any interests in life outside of broadcasting Twins baseball? Serious question.

 

And to be honest, after listening to him and Bert on the air for lord knows how long now, it'd be nice if Dick would start to take as many games off as Bert does. I get sick of listening to their same old lingo over and over again.

I've been trying to think of a Twins pitcher that Garcia reminds me of.

 

Scott Diamond. Cocks his wrist like Diamond, fastball tails glove side like his.Garcia's command may be better than Diamond's, but like the former Twin, it's a little puzzling why more hitters don't tee off on him. I guess "late movement" is the current theory.

I'd be fine with Cory Provus in there, to be honest
