So Weather forecasting isn't one of my strong suits. Sorry about that that

I have followed the Twins for the majority of my life and this past 2 weeks has really suprised me.

With all the key players injured and the way the starting pitching and the hitting was going, I was truely ready to give them up for dead.

I have no idea how this season will turn out but they sure have started to make this interesting for sure.

The starting pitching as of late has been great and the bullpen has been doing a pretty good job also.

My question is, when Span and Kubel get back, do we start Young or do we keep Revere in. He has been hitting pretty good and he can really run those balls down and make some awesome catches. The one issue I see with Revere is his arm throwing in from the outfield.

Yes, Delmon has been around alot longer but the lack of hussle seems to be an issue as of late along with his bat.

If and when Mauer can get his bat going and Morneau and Thomes get back, they could make a run for the division. We also need a few others to crank it up like Cassila has.

I guess one can never count the Twins out in thier division.

[PierBridge]

Delmon's bat which as expected is coming around lately will be in the line-up one way or another. You can book that. Other than that I agrre with most of your post.

I don't see us catching Detroit but we are fun to watch and anything can and will happen in baseball!

[DonBo]

I see Revere as our center fielder. Span to left and Young as trade bait for a reliever.

[harvey lee]

I agree DonBo. Young seems to not hustle on some plays and Revere is always going full throttle. He can bat as well or so it seems at this pooint and may run faster on the bases.

It's a no brainer for me to have Revere in the outfield and sit Young down.

[10,000 Casts]

They should have sat Delmon a looooooooong time ago. He is horrible!!! He must be gaining some of that wieght back that he lost before last season and he is fat and happy at his $3.5 mil a year.

[PierBridge]

I'm certainly not sold on Revere at this point but he has shown some potential. I would think Cuddyer who's stock is as high as ever would be a good trade value at the present time. We just aren't going to be able to pay him the money he will command even at a home town discount with the way our payroll is these days.!

I don't see any possible way we are going to give up Delmon for a reliever.

[DonBo]

Gardy and the entire Twins organization love Cuddy. I believe he'll be a Twin till he retires. With all the holes he's been able to fill over the years he's pretty valuable to the Twins. Besides his defense, right now he's one of just a couple real threats on offense. Be silly to let that go IMHO.

do you even follow the twins?

That would be a disgrace to baseball to have someone with Cuddy's numbers make an allstar team

weather was good after the first inning

[jwmiller33]

I see Revere as our center fielder

I completely agree. Revere is much better defensively in CF than Span is. I guarantee that the collective BABIP for our entire pitching staff would drop significantly if we were able to get Delmon out of the field.

[PierBridge]

I still prefer Span in Center over Revere he catches the ball just as good and his arm which is much more important in center blows Reveres away, actually Revere doesn't have an arm to begin with. But then again Span is much more versatile so it wouldn't be the end of the world if Gardy goes against what he said he was going to do. I don't get caught up in short term samplings and couple of nice catches is my point.

So who would you send to the All Star Game Sled?

[DonBo]

Before Kubel got hurt, I thought he was the only Twin that deserved a shot at the All Star game, obviously that's not going to happen now. With the utility spot now part of the game, Kuddy seems to be the only other player on the team that makes any sense.

Sledy

I have been following them probably longer than you have been on this earth Sled.

Unless you are 50, I have been watching them longer.

My grandma has been watching the twins since their inception, but the other day she asked me why Jesse Crain hasn't been Pitching.

[genegodawa]

C'mon Sled...forget the comedy (that was a hoot) and answer the question:

You over 50 or not?

If I was over 50, that would make my grandma REALLY old

[harvey lee]

Sounds like your Grandma hasn't a clue. You should help her out.

[PierBridge]

Sled, how about a starting pitcher in the All Star Game? Along with Cuddy...

[SledNeck]

I'd go with a starting pitcher in the all star game, but not Cuddy.

[10,000 Casts]

Will Mauer get in just because of who he is??? If not, I'd say by process of elimination, Cuddy would be the last Twin standing.

IMO, anyone on the Twins that is .030 avg and 9 RBIs ahead of Delmon and plays everyday deserves a shot..
