Learn how to call off the other player and just catch the Ball. My favorite is watching Gomez and Young almost slam into each other when a ball is hit inbetween the 2 of them.

The Twins are staying at home this weekend to play Detroit and the White Sox next game is Friday in Toronto? With school still in, I don't understand why this occurs?

Can't disagree more with that. This is the best OF since... maybe Puckett days; or maybe since Oliva, Hall, Allison days. Their only weaknesses are over agressiveness by DY and not knowing where his throws are going all the time by Gomez; both of which will improve with coaching. However, they have the strongest arms we have EVER had in one OF and will set records for assists as a group. LF and CF have speed enough to save a lot of hits. Defensively, this is not a group that you can knock. It may well be the best in the AL, certainly top 3. As far as very recent memory, can't believe you would prefer Tyner, RonDL, Stewart, Kubel, and other weak LF's over DY; Carlos is already making people forget about Hunter's CF play; Cuddy is still playing RF. So, gotta say... not getting the slam on the OF's defensive play.

I can't even watch who they draft because they will just ruin that players confidence, and with McFail they will never win. I would take less money to go somewhere else.
