The Twins, "The Dunce" has been located

There's been a lot of things going right with the Twins recently (now granted, we have 3 divisions now,not 2), but there's also some things going wrong, and not being "inside" the organization, I've had to use my powers of observation to determine who "The Dunce" is.

At first, I thought it had to be G.M. Terry Ryan, particularly when he threw that massive contract at Joe Mays after only 1 good season, and he wasn't even asking for it. It must feel god-like to throw manna from heaven un the undeserving.

But he's been doing some good things with a limited payroll lately, especially this past off-season by signing Santana & Radke.

So, Hmmm...well, Terry seems to be in the clear.

So let's think about this for a minute...

Let's just say u have a can't miss catching prospect who is the future
of the franchise, and let's even say he's a hometown guy; and let's say
he is coming off a serious knee injury, what do you do with him?

You have three choices:

1. Ease him back slowly as a d.h.

2. Play him every 2 or 3 days behind the plate, as his knee continues to
gain strength.

3. Play him every day until his knee breaks down and his season ends
with another surgery, so he will now have life-long trouble with his
knee.


If you're manager Ron Gardendunce, you pick 3, and then you get rewarded with a
multi-year contract extension.

Mystery solved.
