    Say what you want about Barnes but he definitely took one for the team. I didn't think Rocco would ever do that.

    Simmons is definitely a talented SS but seems to drift off occasionally and not be in the game. I would like to see Gordon get some SS time to see if he is capable. I suspect he probably isn't or at least does not have the strength to play SS for the long haul.

    Tulsa has some the UGLIEST uniforms I have seen in a long time. Yuck!

    Wichita, as a new affiliate, certainly can't complain about a lack of talent. The Twins have done well for them.

    Maybe it's time to have Tortuga give sliding lessons. He looked awesome sliding into 1st base last night! LOL

    I would cautiously add Rooker to that list as a promise to come. He is hitting well at this point. If he can keep the K's down, he would be a valuable DH/OF.

    I am getting cautiously optimistic for Rooker. Watching his stats while with the Saints was frustrating (for us and I am sure for him). He seems to be looking better since rejoining the Twins. It sure would be a bonus if he was able to at least partially fill the whole left with the Cruz trade.

    I really think you have to almost throw out the first five years. For whatever reason it just took Buxton a longer time to develop his hitting. Because of injuries it is a SSS but he appears to have it finally put it together. Trading him now would be selling very low. If the owners statement is true that they have the money to sign Buxton and Berrios, then do it and move on. If he continues to get hurt he is still worth more than Donaldson IMO.

    I know I am not a pitching savant but watching Alcala last night was interesting. It looked to me (from the camera angles we had) that there was hardly any movement on his fastball. Big league hitters will feast if that is the case.

    If Souhan thinks the Twins really need to keep JD, my reaction is that means the Twins really need to get rid of JD.

    Jim Kaat was the sole highlight from this game. Even Dick Bremer had a hard time generating any enthusiasm.

    Today could be a real "nail biter".

    We need to hold our breath on Canterino after he was put on the IL for elbow soreness yesterday.
  14. USNMCPO
    Watched the game as long as I could, then chose to go for a walk with the Mrs. It was a wise choice.
  15. USNMCPO
    Any idea when Canterino may move up to Wichita?
  16. USNMCPO
    Celestino seems to be doing well. I wonder how long it will be before he moves to St Paul. I think the Twins need to start putting the Buxton insurance policy closer to home.
  17. USNMCPO
    If Garlick's groin issue persists I can see him on the IL when Buxton returns. Things like that seem to magically happen every year.
  18. USNMCPO
    Looking at the bullpen usage for the last couple days and I wonder who the heck will pitch today when the starter is pulled after five innings. Farrell? Stashak? gulp Colome? Maybe Tortuga?
  19. USNMCPO
    The problem is that the regression has been over multiple seasons. Sano, Kepler, Polanco, Cave?, Garver?. Major changes will have to be made to turn this boat around.
  20. USNMCPO
    Woof

    Seems to me that it is time for Rocco to change his management style. Every good leader is adept at changing styles to fit the situation. Rocco's hands off, let's not get hurt. make sure you are rested approach does not seem to be working. This team matches their manager in obvious internal fire.
  22. USNMCPO
    Ouch
  23. USNMCPO
    My memory is not what I would like it to be, but didn't Duffey go through a similar slow start in recent past spring trainings? I just feel like this is deja vu all over again.
  24. USNMCPO
    My thought on Odo is that he probably wanted more money/term than the Twins were willing to pay. With that, the Twins decided to go another route. The market dried up for ODO but the Twins were no longer looking his way, so he had to settle for the Houston offer.
  25. USNMCPO
    He was granted a 4th option for reasons I can't remember.
