They get no credit for Morneau, Hunter, Mauer and to a lesser extent Cuddyer?

Mauer was a no-brainer No. 1 selection. They've minimized the risk with him when his knees were worrisome, though, so I'll give them that.

Morneau, sure, though no one expected this.

Hunter, sure.

Cuddyer they also [censored] up a bit. They jerked him around the infield and took forever to give him a full-time job and kept blocking his path.

As Joe Sheehan has said many a time, the Twins are seemingly incapable of simply putting their best team on the field in April or May. They handle pitchers quite well -- Johan and Liriano were handled excellently -- but they've needed hitting for the past two years and could've shopped Slowey, Garza, Bonser, Baker, and I'm sure I'm forgetting more that I'm too lazy to look up. Come on, SOMEBODY. Not go and sign Tony Bautistas and play Nick Puntos and Lew Fords.
