Parm to 1B
Thank you for adding to this one. You're right on. Because the Twins honestly don't care about Parmelee in RF. They care about Parmelee at 1B.
If they have no one that can claim the 1B position,... -

Dear Randy Savage
Perhaps you're right. Perhaps I paid attention to the skies and "hot air" long enough to pick up a good amount of information to make a fairly accurate prediction of conduct. I don't really care. You...

Kwak, you're absolutely wrong. Twins constantly talk about how Mauer likes to call the game himself. I WISH the dugout was calling the game. I still pray that they take the pitch calling AWAY from...
