Young goes 0-8 with 6 K's. So who does Gardy start Tuesday? Young of course.

Th...Send Delmon to AAA and start Gomez every game. That's just fine with me. Call up Tolleson or Brian Dinkelman and see what they can do at second - at least they have on-base skillsets. Work like hell to find someone who doesn't yet realize Delmon is a collasal failure as a Major League baseball player and trade him for a shortstop or reliever.<br /><br />I'm not especially concerned about the starters. They've got the talent and will come around eventually.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-21016090931532741862009-05-26T03:13:47.374-05:002009-05-26T03:13:47.374-05:00"Call me an idiot, jump on me all you want, but I'..."Call me an idiot, jump on me all you want, but I'd love to see Gomez in the lineup every day, batting ninth.

I successfully avoided the final score long enough to bring up the game on MLB.tv. I settled in, happy with myself and content with life, when the starting lineups were announced. Span, Mauer, and Crede all out? Gomez leading off? Tolbert in the two-hole?<br /><br />I stopped watching.TwinsFixhttp://www.twinsfix.comnoreply@blogger.com
