Jawa's Poll

What do the Twins need the most now?

	A sure fire eighth inning specialist
	A legit power threat at 3rd
	Punto out of the 2 hole
	Gomez to learn the art of bunting
	Cuddy back from injury
	Guys to quit sliding head-first
	A new hand specialist
	To switch back to soft bags
	Just to keep getting their young guys more playing time

The Twins are in the top of the fifth. Perkins gave up a ton of everything early. He just didn't look great. The defense wasn't helping him that much but that didn't seem to matter the Padres were just finding room in the field. The Padres ran out to a 3-0 lead. Then back came the Twins in manufacturing type fashion with Perkins bunting Buescher to second, Gomez getting hit by a pitch, Alexi coming up with a run scoring single, followed by Mauer's two RBI double. Just like that the Twins were back in the game. I was totally stoked. Then Maddux and Perkins just sort of took the life out of the game over the next half an hour which ended up being an inning and a half. Harris came through with a two run double in the fourth, which was sort of a bomb I couldn't really tell because this entire park is outrageously huge. Now the Twins are threatening again after Gomez led off with a single, stole second and was bunted to third by Alexi. Mauer drilled one right to the first basemen. Justin was walked in a semi-intentional fashion. Cuddy ended up hitting a harmless fly to center. Nevertheless, Perkins and Maddux are killing this game...they need to pick up the pace!

On to the Wolves. I've got to break this down some more tonight and I'll try to drop another post in a little while. I'm thinking the Wolves need to move this pick, its just to valueable to hold on to it. The Heat need to get out of the number two slot so they can land Mayo, but I'm not sure Beasley is worth it to the Wolves to move up. I'm also not sure the Wolves have anything outside of cap relief that the Heat would like. We could slide down a few spots, pick up extra picks or possibly add some players too. If the Heat take Beasley, the Wolves have to take Mayo. If we pass on Mayo, well let's hope we at least get a million from someone cause passing on the next ROY would be so Foye.
