Worst Twins of All-Time Series: Butch Huskey
mysonlikes7 commented on Cody Christie's blog entry in North Dakota Twins Fan
I initally thought of Tommy Herr, but he basically had an average year for the Twins while he was here. I think it has more to do with the circumstances on how he got here by the Brunansky trade and that he was a whiner. -
Worst Twins of All-Time Series: Terry Felton

Great topic to discuss. Keep it going. Bret Boone was the first to come to mind, but I agree he wasn't here long enough. Two others that popped into my head was Tony Bastista and Willie Banks. Banks based on what we were told his potential was and how mediocre to poor his he was once he got to the majors. Batista on how fast he fell off the table once he got here with the Twins. If he doesn't improve his hitting, we may be watching history in the making with Drew Butera. -
I think this blog more accurately portrays how this year is going to play out, especially your comments about the pitching staff. The starting rotation is filled with pitchers who would be no better than a number 3 on almost any other major league roster. I don't have a real problem with Capps. He was relatively inexpensive and you pretty much know what you are going to get. When the Twins are out of contention in July, he can be traded to a contender. I think a number of the Twins on the current roster will be trade bait come July because the Tigers will be pretty much running away with the division by then.

Sound Off: Three Catchers, or Not Three Catchers
mysonlikes7 commented on Kirsten Brown's blog entry in Blog Kirsten Brown
The Twins are not that good of a team right now to afford to keep a 3rd catcher (Butera/Rivera). I am sick and tired of hearing Gardy and the Twins talk about, what if our catcher gets hurt? As stated in LaVelle's article, it rarely happens during the season and if it does, it is only one game. Managers all over the AL use their catcher as a DH when they aren't catching. Watch how many times Napoli for Texas or Avila for Detroit will be the DH when they aren't catching. Also, this personal catcher thing for pitchers has got to stop. You put your best players out on the field, PERIOD. If Pavano is pitching and I am going to the game, I don't want to be subjected to watching Butera flail at pitches or weakly ground out to the shortstop.
