Anyone who thinks that Gomez should be in AAA doesnt know what they are talking about. Why would you send him down? Just because he has a .250 BA? Look around baseball and see how many players are sitting at .250 or below right now…are they going to get sent down? What about Mauer when he was 0-12? No talk of sending him down. Let the kid have his mistakes up here this year, putting him down in AAA is not going to benefit him at all. He plays great D in CF and when he is on base he can make things happen, something this team needs. Twins would need a miracle season to make the postseason this year, sorry if i burst anyones bubble. Let him work it out in MN.

the glory days of Pucket, Molitor and Winfield

The days of Molitor and Winfield were all but glorious for the Twins…

Resigning Hunter was NOT the right move. If the Angels want to send $90MM his way, God bless them. But the Twins DO need to get a big-league bat. I said it in December, I said it in March, I’ll be saying it again in August. As gobbledygookguy pointed out, the Twins offense is terrible and 70 wins is going to be a stretch for them this year.

Gomez should be whereever gives him the most opportunity to improve.

The bottom line is the Twins should have never let Torii Hunter get away. How do you NOT resign the FACE of your franchise?

A buddy of mine and I were talking about this very same issue this afternoon on the phone and we both agreed that this is a LARGE part of the Twins problem. Ownership will not dish out the money it takes, and they have the money, to put a successful, competative, winning team on the field. It’s sad, I feel bad for guys like Justin Morneau, and Joe Maur because they grew up in the Twins system and the way things are going now they will NEVER win a Championship with the organization.

The worst part is if the trend continues both of them will be gone in a few years.

It’s very frustrating being a Twins fan who has seen the glory days of Pucket, Molitor and Winfield, granted I was a boy, but still.

Here Ends my rant.
