Molitor. Thome's 25 HRs in 2010 for the million or so they spent on him was a pretty good deal.

Hey, let's put up Jim Thome's blooper reel while we're at it. Oh, that's right, Thome was never asked to field a position.

I don't think Gardenhire will move Morneau out of cleanup because he doesn't do that to veterans. Or move Mauer to no. 2 because that spot is reserved for a middle infielder. Two examples of...

Willingham replaced Cuddyer. Willingham did not replace Cuddyer and Delmon. If you want to compare Willingham's stats with Delmon's, fine, but then you need to come up with a different replacement...

That was an Guardado-esque save today by Capps!

Who was the last Twin to bat second that wasn't the shortstop or second baseman?

That is the last thing I would do. How about picking a line-up and then sticking with it for a week or two? No matter how bad someone does one day, he goes back out the next day (Gardy has no problem...

How many professional baseball players were banned for life by Commisioner Landis for involvement or knowledge of the conspiracy to fix the 1919 World Series?

Lost at Birth - Public Enemy
or
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) - Jimi Hendrix

The power goes when the legs go. If Mauer's legs are 100%, and he finds the right technique or actually tries to hit for power, he'll hit for power.

Ryan won't fire Gardenhire and the Pohlads don't care enough about what goes on on the field to step in and do it themselves. I don't think he'll quit because that means his old Mets buddies will...

They should also ban smokers from having a cigarette anywhere, including their own home or cars, at least 4 hours prior to arriving at the ballpark to ensure no smoke smell remains in their hair or...

All-in-all this is a much stronger lineup than I figured the Twins would have back in November.

My advice to Gardenhire:

1. It is permitted by the rules of baseball for someone other than the SS or 2B to bat second in the order.
2. Thursday afternoon games count just as much as other...

*61 is a great movie. Billy Crystal used old Tiger Stadium to recreate old Yankee Stadium. Anthony Michael Hall, who is right-handed, played Whitey Ford, a lefty. So they put him in a uniform with...

I've been to Miller Park, Minute Maid Park, Wrigley Field, US Cellular Field, and Tokyo Dome. I really like the Cell. Minute Maid is a joke. Outside of Miller Park is great. Wrigley is a dump and...

Capps would get over 40 saves IF the Twins were in position to win enough games. Hard to get 40+ on a bad team.

Have you been paying any attention to the AL?

Ichiro is one Japanese player that HAD to come to the US. He was too good for Japanese baseball.

I say he's in. First ballot? That depends on who else is up for voting that year.

The Twins have Span here and Benson coming up. That determines Revere's value to the Twins. The trick is to find a team that doesn't have a Span or a Benson. A team without other options will...

Cobb and The Babe were absolutely horrendous. As was the Billy Bob Thornton remake of The Bad News Bears.

A really excellent baseball movie nobody has mentioned yet is 'Mr. Baseball'. This was filmed the year before I went to Japan, and is a very accurate depiction of how the game is played over there....

Bringing Punto back to play for Gardenhire is like giving my 2 year old a loaded handgun to play with.
