Has Ron Gardenhire ever thought it might be a good Idea to mix in a salad? Every time I have seen him on T.V. this off season I think I am looking at Chris Farley, I can't figure out if Gardy's beltsize or the Twins payroll is growing more recklessly and rapidly.
Now that Punto has left the the team who is going to be Gardy's pet? Could it be Mauer, how else can you explain an overrated defensive, slap hitting,heartless player getting a 23 million a year contract. I think Punto passed Mauer the pictures he had of Gardy and Bill Smith.
The Twins have figured out a new way to build a winner. You get rid of an elite middle infield,getting nothing in return. Replace them with a couple of double a caliber players. We let our whole bullpen walk without finding any replacements. We still lack an ace on our staff. But hey no worries we re-signed Jim Thome, and the Twins will surely cash in on his quest for his 600th homer this season when we are 15 games out by late June.
Who needs to find a heart more, Joe Mauer or the Tin Man? Isn't it time for Joe to tell the Twins he will play whatever position they want him to play. It's time to start producing and playing up to the level that he is paid.
Mourneau is the best ballplayer in the American league when he is on the field. We call him the Candle in my house, it only takes one blow and he is out.
Kubel, well he is a very poor man's Jim Thome. Why do we have both of these guys on our roster?
Where is Wilson Ramos? Oh that's right we traded him for Matt Capps, who we paid 7.1 million for. Didn't we already have a Matt Capps for a fraction of the price? his name was John Raush.
