D.C Twins

He'll be gone from the dugout by the end of the season and into a 'front office consultant role' which will fit him perfectly. I get the feeling that he is a big but methodical thinker, but not so great with fluid, agile, short fuse decision making that is required for a great manager. No offence to Rocco, he's just in the wrong place to maximize his talents

Lee to 3rd and Miranda to 1st and let Polonco and Julian figure out 2nd ... but then there is Lewis... what great problems to have! (I have my serious doubts about Krills long term health but I hope I'm wrong). Lee may end up being like Moss, Jefferson, Peterson, Culpepper falling into Vikings lap.... aweseome!

Rocco's managing..... whooaaaaaaaaaaaaa

That prize combo of Nick -leback -punto is absolutely hilarious. Made my day.... Kudos

are we sure the radars are calibrated correctly?

I find this HIGHLY unlikely. I have seen/heard of zero 6+ foot 220+ men getting sucker punched by a complete stranger for no reason in my life..... and I've been around for awhile and been in many situations.

MORE COWBELL! (....and Nick Gordon is a valuable asset that I do not think has peaked yet)

Break x3

I'll go Lawyerson (though nobody outside of the top 20 really stood out to me)

"his leash should be short and there is nothing about a $3.5 million salary that will keep Minnesota from avoiding the same fate from a year ago." But will it be? This is the key. Nick Nelson's nice article convinced me that he was worth a 3.5 million flier (kudos to Nick, because convincing me was not easy). But the problem is that the Twins have not demonstrated the ability to cut relief pitchers loose at the appropriate time in the past seasons when things were not working.

I'd rather hear he was going to manage 'somewhere else' than 'differently' but I guess this is better than nothing until he is inevitably fired at or near the end of the season

His parents need to engage right now and make sure he is fully aware of the precipice he is on. (Male brains aren't fully developed until 25 at the earliest and probably a bit later) Because professional coaches have neither the time nor energy to devote to filling the role of parent to any of these players

I see a slight hitch in Lewis' giddy up in that video but early days and encouraging that he is running period.

Ahh... we've progressed from the '(fill in the blank) is in the best shape of his life' to 'just imaging if Buxton could stay healthy for a whole year' in the annual stories... .... which means opening day is getting closer!!!!!

Great staff for the regular season.... post season is where the lack of an elite pitcher comes back to haunt.
