1. In Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader 9.5, go to the Edit menu and click Preferences.
2. In the Categories list, click Documents.
3. Under PDF/A View Mode, change the selection from Only for PDF/A documents to Never, and click OK.

My first cruise back from the Gulf of Tonkin, they were demonstrating in San Fran to not let us dock and calling us all kind of names. I am glad the country is giving the vets these days proper respect. It has taken a while for me to be able to accept the thanks. I did what wanted for my country because I wanted to and would do it again no questions. But lately it is good to hear the appreciation for the service. My biggest concern is for the government not to forget the ones that need the VA Medical community, the government seems to forget over time.

2013 Stanley Cup Playoff Team - Ottawa Senators
One of the least likely participants in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs is the Ottawa Senators. It's not that the Senators had few expectations at the beginning of the short regular season, but rather it's that Ottawa seemed to have another star suffer a significant injury every other week. Centerman Jason Spezza played only five games this year and is probably out for the first round of the 2013 NHL Playoffs. Defending Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson suffered a gruesome cut to his Achilles tendon in a freak play against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has somehow managed to recover in miraculous time and joined the team in the last week of the season to prepare for their first round matchup against the Montreal Canadiens.
Goaltending was the key component that kept the Ottawa Senators in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoff conversation. Craig Anderson was a magician in between the pipes, leading the NHL in GAA for much of the season and making dazzling saves in high volumes over the course of the season. Because of their depth at the position, the Senators made a trade deadline move with the Tampa Bay Lightning to acquire young scoring threat Cory Conacher. They're hoping some young energy, paired with playoff veterans like Captain Daniel Alfredsson and Sergei Gonchar, will help the Senators defeat bitter national rival Montreal Canadiens. The cities are close together geographically and the fans despise the other franchise. This will be a tightly contested and bitter seven-game showdown. Can the Ottawa Senators continue to surprise the analysts and overcome injury to make a 2013 NHL Playoff run?
Ottawa Senators Stanley Cup Playoff Opponent
Ottawa wasn't guaranteed a playoff spot until their victories over the last weekend of the NHL regular season including a victory over the Boston Bruins. They will need to defend their home ice at ScotiaBank Place and steal a victory on the road if they hope to win a first round series against the Montreal Canadiens. The teams split their season series, each winning both games at home.

MGH's Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Services at the new Brigham and Women's/Mass General Health Care Center at Patriot Place, a multispecialty ambulatory health care center in Foxboro, opened Feb. 2
Collaborating for a new health care center
behind the scenes: From left, Gaynor, Parrish and Zachazewski
Thousands of individuals at the MGH work behind the scenes daily to ensure the high quality of patient care, safety and comfort as well as efficiency in the hospital's daily operations. This same behind-the-scenes work led to the successful Feb. 2 opening of the MGH's Orthoaedic and Rehabilitation Services at the new Brigham and Women's/Mass General Health Care Center at Patriot Place, a multispecialty ambulatory health care center in Foxboro.
Physicians and guests from the Foxboro area recently toured the 100,000-square-foot, four-story facility and met many of its clinicians and caregivers at an open house. MGH leadership who were integral to the development of the center marked the opening, including Harry E. Rubash, MD, chief of Orthopaedic Surgery; Thomas Gill, IV, MD, chief of the Sports Medicine Service; Ann Prestipino, senior vice president of Surgical and Anesthesia Services and Clinical Business Development; Michael Sullivan, PT, DPT, director of Physical and Occupational Therapy Services; Joan Sapir, senior vice president of MGH Neurosciences, MassGeneral Hospital for Children, Dermatology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Molecular Biology; and Jeanette Ives Erickson, RN, MS, FAAN, senior vice president for Patient Care Services and chief nurse.
Playing important roles in the creation of the new MGH facilities were Jane Parrish, administrative director of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation; James "Zach" Zachazewski, clinical director of MGH Rehabilitation Services; and David Gaynor, executive director of Orthopaedics. Zachazewski and Gaynor brought valuable project experience and planning insight, having managed the 2007 establishment of the MGH Sports Medicine Center.
"Thousands of hours have been devoted to the planning of this great facility," says Prestipino. "Key to the success of the new orthopaedic, physiatry and rehab services have been Zach, David and Jane, who worked tirelessly with architects, project planners, BWH and MGH staff and consultants to bring everything together."
In agreement, Rubash adds, "Zach, David and Jane were essential to the smooth development of the MGH Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Services in Foxboro. They truly were the backbone of the project, pulling the pieces together."
The Brigham and Women's/Mass General Health Care Center comprises BWH primary care and MGH and BWH specialist services, including orthopaedics, pain management, plastic and day surgery, diagnostic imaging and lab services. MGH comprehensive orthopaedic surgical services include physiatry, sports medicine, hand, spine, foot and ankle, and arthroplasty services, which are colocated with MGH Rehabilitation Services in 13,500 square feet of space on the second floor of the center. MGH Rehabilitation Services includes physical, occupational and hand therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, wellness programs, performance evaluation and enhancement programs as well as a therapeutic pool and state-of-the-art weight training, cardiovascular, and strength and balance testing equipment.
For more information about the center, call (508)718-4000.

Species | Mixed Species. May include Pine, Fir, Spruce, Douglas Fir, Larch, Oak, Elm, Hickory, Ash, Maple, Beech, Poplar, Cedar, others. Typically heavy to softwoods. |
Source | Barns, corncribs, stables, mills, homes and other buildings and agricultural/industrial/construction structures and materials from different locations in North America |
Metal/Holes | Nails and fasteners are removed or occasionally cut flush or broken off. Barnwood will generally have some nail holes, but few, if any bolt holes. Staining around holes is common. |
Knots | Unlimited knots; some tight, some fallen out |
Checking/Cracks | Unlimited as long as board is sound |
Grain Pattern | Mixed |
Moisture Content/Stability | Air-Dried. Barnwood is generally more stable and less prone to shrinkage than is green lumber. |
Standard Dimensions | a) Thickness: 1" (actual: 5/8" to 4/4") and 2" (actual: 1 1/2" to 8/4"); b) Width: random, 4" to 8" -- 10" and 12" widths are also often available (actual widths: 1/2" to 3/4" nominal); c) Lengths: 1' increments from 4' to 12'. |
Surfacing | Weathered; Trestlewood sorts Antique Barnwood Lumber into Rough Brown Barnwood, Rough Gray Barnwood and Smooth Brown/Gray Barnwood (heavy to browns.) One of the unique features of Antique Barnwood is the range of textures found therein. The surfacing and texture of different barnwood sources may vary widely. Antique Barnwood Lumber colors vary as well - common colors include browns, light browns, grays, light grays and combinations of browns and grays. Many boards will have two or more shades of colors. As a result, Trestlewood generally does not offer a color sort which does not allow for some latitude in the colors provided. Brown barn boards often include some gray tones; gray barn boards often include some brown tones. |
Weight | Depending on species mix. Typically, approximately 2.5 pounds per board foot |
Appearance Variation | Boards can vary in appearance from piece to piece and even within a piece. The characteristics described on this specification sheet generally apply to each board's featured face. The opposite face and edges can differ from the featured face in texture, coloring, and other characteristics unless otherwise noted. Weathered lumber / barnwood will have at least one weathered face. The opposite face and edges can be any combination of weathered and fresh-sawn. If weathered, the weathering will often be different (amount, mix of colors, etc) than on the featured face. |
Other | Barnwood can be very brittle and may split easily. Special care, such as pre-drilling holes for nails, is advisable. |

By Fat old guy soon to be skinny old guy (Lebanon,NH) on Mar 7, 2012
Comments: Needed to upgrade my old treadmill. I hemmed and hawed between the T7.0 and the C900. Not wanting to finacially over extend myself not knowing whether or not it would end up a coat rack, I purchased the T7.0. I been pounding that track for near 3 months now, none stop since purchasing it. Great treadmill, full of surprises that I have yet to enjoy(working my way up slowly). The 24 on board workouts are challenging yet diverse in their content. Enjoy the MP3,speakers and the onboard fan...nice touch. Totally satisfied and highly recommend this one. If I have integrated treadmills in my daily life for over a year I purchasing the C900.

Sports Medicine: Growth Pate Fractures
What is a growth plate fracture?
A growth plate (physis or epiphyseal plate) is the area at the end of long bones in children and adolescents that allows bones to grow. The 'plate' refers to a zone of cartilage cells within the bone that produces new cells that add length to the bone. Injuries around the growth plate can result in separation of the bone at the growth plate, fractures of the bone across the growth plate or crushing of the growth plate.
The growth plate is not as strong as the rest of the bone and is more likely to be injured than the surrounding calcified bone. Fractures of the growth plates need to be closely managed by an orthopedic physician in order to minimize and treat long term effects involving bone growth.
What causes a growth plate fracture?
Growth plate injuries can be caused by a sudden event (i.e. a fall) causing a fracture or can happen over time through repetitive stresses (i.e. pitching), causing separation or compression.
What are the symptoms of a growth plate fracture?
Symptoms of a growth plate fracture are similar to other fractures and include:
- Visible deformity
- Swelling
- Pain
- Inability to move the injured area
- Inability to put pressure or bear weight
- Athlete may feel or hear a "pop"
How is a growth plate fracture diagnosed?
A physician can review x-rays of the painful area to diagnose a growth plate fracture. It is important to see an orthopedic provider to ensure that the fracture is properly managed in a young and growing athlete.
What is the treatment for a growth plate fracture?
The treatment depends on the severity of the injury. In simple cases, casting or splinting may be done to support and stabilize the fracture area. Complex fractures may require surgery to provide the best possibility for future bone growth.
What is the long term outlook for a growth plate fracture?
With proper treatment, the outcome of most growth plate fractures is normal growth and full return to activity. In some cases, despite best treatment, permanent damage to the growth plate may result in abnormal growth of the bone. In these instances, future surgery may be required to treat the growth problem and minimize long term functional issues.
Children and adolescents heal at a faster rate than adults, so it is important not to ignore the symptoms of a growth plate fracture. Prompt evaluation by the orthopedic provider will allow treatment to minimize long term effects of growth plate injuries.

How much of a super-geek are you? We may soon see.
Earlier this year, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) announced plans to offer Consumer Technology Enthusiast (CTE) memberships to consumers. When the plan goes into effect, anyone can become part of the CEA.
Now it looks like those memberships could be available any day now—and include a few pretty sweet privileges. First of all, CTEs are expected to take part in beta testing, with insider access to the industry. That means you could get your sweaty mitts on certain products before the rest of the public. Also, according to Twice, the first 1,000 CTEs will be invited to attend the Consumer Electronics Show in January.
Until now, the biggest CE event of the year was limited to industry attendees. However, CTE members will be invited to attend the last day of the event, on January 9, 2011.
The CTE program will kick off on November 9, 2010 at the annual International CEA press event. There, the CEA is expected to announce CTE membership fees and other details of the program.

Rum is a drink that lends itself to being enjoyed in a number of different ways; with a mixer, as the base for a cocktail such as the Mojito, and on its own, as a bracing restorative. Rum was founded on the back of the sugar cane industries in the West Indies.
White rum is a standard drink in the Caribbean with well known brands like Barcardi,and Havana Club. Dark rum such as Captain Morgans, Lambs Navy and Inner Circle are aged from anywhere between 3 and 12 years and its heavier consistency and deeper flavours lend itself to being drunk on its own, although some cocktails do benefit from its weight.Awards
The International Wine and Spirit Competition aims to promote the quality and excellence of the world's best wines, spirits and liqueurs. All rum entrants are blind tasted by experts, and with entries from over 80 countries worldwide you can be sure rums with this award are of a superior taste and quality.

Information for Prospective Students
Among our former academic staff and students, UCL has 21 Nobel Prize winners
Undergraduate entry requirements
You are required to satisfy UCL's general entrance requirements listed below as well as the specific degree programme requirements outlined in the programme descriptions given in the UCL Undergraduate Prospectus.
We may issue conditional offers based on future examination performance. In such circumstances, unless otherwise stated, all conditions must be fulfilled by 31 August 2014.
A level and AS level qualifications
Depending on the degree programme, UCL makes offers in the range of A*A*A–ABB, plus a pass in a further Advanced Subsidiary (AS) level subject. The requirements for individual programmes can be found in the UCL Undergraduate Prospectus.
Only applicants undertaking A levels in the UK are required to pass a 4th AS level subject. Those taking A levels outside the UK are not required to pass a 4th AS.
A level General Studies and A level Critical Thinking will only be accepted as an alternative to the additional AS level subject that is required. We do not recognise AS level General Studies and AS level Critical
Thinking for admissions purposes.
If you wish to study at UCL you should offer a minimum of two A level subjects from the list of preferred subjects. We are happy to accept any subject as the third A level you offer, provided the other two subjects appear on the approved list. If you are not able to offer two preferred subjects, you should contact the relevant degree programme contact (see subject entries in this Prospectus) to ascertain whether you can still be considered for admission.
If you have accepted a place at UCL and subsequently decline any of your A level or AS level results, you may render yourself ineligible to take up a place on a degree programme or, if you have already enrolled, liable to be deregistered from UCL.
International Baccalaureate (IB)
The normal requirement for admission to UCL is the award of
the Diploma achieved with good grades across individual subjects. UCL's
standard minimum requirement is 34 points overall, with a combined
score of 16 achieved in three higher level subjects with no grade lower than 5. However, many of our programmes have higher entry requirements than this. You
will find the requirements for individual programmes on the subject
entries in the UCL Undergraduate Prospectus.
Our programmes may specify up to two individual higher level grade requirements. Where this is the case, a higher level grade of 6 is specified as the equivalent of an A grade requirement at A level, and a higher level grade of 7 is specified as the equivalent of an A* grade requirement at A level. For example, a programme that requires grades AAB at A level including grade A in Chemistry has an IB Diploma requirement of 36 points with a score of 17 in three higher level subjects, including grade 6 in Chemistry, with no score lower than 5.
Extended Project
If you are taking UK A levels, we accept a pass in the Extended Project as an alternative to the need for you to offer a pass in a fourth subject at AS level.
GCSE and equivalent qualifications
All programmes require GCSE or equivalent passes in English Language and Mathematics at grade C or higher. Some programmes require grades higher than C or additional GCSE passes in specified subjects.
Qualifications accepted as GCSE equivalents include the following:
- IGCSE at grade C or higher
- O level at grade C or higher
- Scottish Credit Standard Grade/Intermediate 2
- Hong Kong Certificate of Education (HKCEE) at grade C or higher
- IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) at grades 4 to 7
- Malaysia Sijil Pelejaran (SPM) at grades 1 to 6
- Singapore/Cambridge GCE Ordinary level at grades 1 to 6
Foreign language requirement
UCL encourages intercultural awareness in all its students, and considers experience of learning a foreign language a vital element of a broad and balanced education. UCL wishes to ensure that all of our graduates have had some experience of exploring another culture through language – but we are concerned to ensure that our admissions requirements do not disadvantage those who did not undertake language study to GCSE or above at school. UK students who do not have a GCSE grade C or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) on admission to UCL will be required to acquire an equivalent level of language proficiency once they are enrolled with us. This will either be through study for a specially designed certificate at the UCL Centre for Languages & International Education, or by taking a 0.5 CU (course-unit) course in a language. Individual cases where a foreign language is particularly challenging for a student will be considered sympathetically.
Applications from 'fast track' students
Some schools, both in the UK and overseas, fast track their students and
limit the number of examinations they take. As a result, you may not be
sitting some GCSE or equivalent qualifications. We will be pleased to
consider your application on its individual merits.
Other qualifications
UCL accepts a number of other UK qualifications and a range of overseas qualifications including those listed below. Further details of these and other acceptable qualifications can be found at: www.ucl.ac.uk/otherquals
- Access to HE Diploma (QAA approved)
- Advanced Diploma
- BTEC National Diploma
- Cambridge Pre-U Principal Subjects
- Higher National Diploma and Certificate
- Scottish Advanced Highers
- UCL University Preparatory Certificate for Science and Engineering
- UCL University Preparatory Certificate for the Humanities
- Welsh Baccalaureate (when combined with GCE A levels)
- Australian school leaving certificates
- Canadian school leaving certificates
- Cypriot Apolytirion (when combined with GCE A levels)
- European Baccalaureate
- European school leaving certificates (for example, French Baccalaureat, German Abitur)
- Greek Apolytirion of Eniaio Lykeio (when combined with GCE A levels)
- Hong Kong Advanced and Advanced Advanced Supplementary Level
- Israeli Bagrut
- Malaysia Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan (STPM) (except Kertas Am)

- USA Advanced Placement (AP) (full year)
- USA High School diploma plus one year at a recognised university

Sarasota Circuit Judge Lee Haworth's recent ruling will keep the North Trail's new Goodwill store on schedule to open in three months.
The 30,000-square-foot Goodwill has been under construction for several months — despite an appeal filed in the 12th Judicial Sarasota Circuit Court by Robert Casella, a member of a group of residents opposed to the project. Opposing residents say the store does not fit in the neighborhood's zoning and would add nighttime truck traffic and noise.
A court ruling favoring Casella could have required Goodwill to stop construction on the new center. Haworth, however, denied the appeal in a ruling issued Wednesday, Nov. 14.
The appeal was turned down because Casella did not have "standing" to appeal the Sarasota Planning Board's approval of the store, under construction at the corner of North Tamiami Trail and Mecca Drive.
"There is no evidence in the record that Casella requested affected person status in accordance with the (Planning) Board's procedure," Judge Haworth wrote in his decision.
Casella also did not meet the state's standards for being an "affected person," Haworth concluded. Haworth contended that Casella, who lives two blocks from the Goodwill construction site, would not be impacted by the project any more than the community as a whole.
The decision means Goodwill will continue working toward an anticipated Valentine's Day completion date.
"There is a sense of relief," said Veronica Miller, vice president of the foundation at Goodwill Manasota, "relief for many parties involved: the developer, dedicated supporters, people looking for jobs and our staff."
Miller said the store will transfer 53 workers from another store that is closing, on the North Trail, and create an additional 13 jobs. In addition to providing new jobs in the community, an onsite Job Connection employment center will help people find area employment. The center will also house GED classes.
Casella's appeal was filed with the Sarasota Circuit Court Feb. 27.
The appeal was the high-tide effort of nearby residents in the Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood who were opposed to the Goodwill center and were upset that the Planning Board approved the project. Residents also formed the group Citizens for Responsible North Trail Development.
Despite the pending appeal, Goodwill Manasota broke ground on the Goodwill center in April. Goodwill knew the risk going forward and signed an agreement with the city in March agreeing to not hold the city accountable if the court decision forced it to halt the project.
Casella said he plans to meet with some neighbors and closely read the judge's decision to determine if he will appeal the ruling or accept the conclusion.
"Basically, we lost on a technicality, rather than the merits of the case," Casella said. "It is a dangerous intersection there. (The Goodwill) is basically a truck-distribution center for five or six other stores."
In Haworth's ruling, the judge wrote that Casella's argument that the project did not fit in the North Trail zoning and that the store would produce excessive traffic impacts "did not constitute competent substantial evidence."

- I personally donate to Salvation Army. For all those unhappy do the same and dry up the donations to Goodwill. What I have seen over the past two decades is that Goodwill is out to benefit itself, not the community. The Salvation Army is all about the community, not itself. I have influenced people to avoid donations to Goodwill so can you.

- This court system in Sarasota County is so political; don't make waves with the local politicians is the marching order. About the time girls start hanging out on this corner or get hit by a speeding car maybe some of these characters will realize their decision to allow was a bad one. Hay! The commissioners have made bad decisions all along this north trail corridor; why start now with an intelligent one?

Death of a Salesman: Director Mike Nichols was 18 in 1949 when he saw Elia Kazan's original production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. The event, he says, is credited with pointing him toward a life in the theatre. Over a half-century later, Nichols returned to the masterwork for a celebrated revival this past spring starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Linda Emond, Andrew Garfield and Finn Wittrock as the Family Loman. Nichols went on record saying the revival paid homage to Kazan's vision: recreating Alex North's original compositions for the haunting incidental music, designer Jo Mielziner's sets, and even some of Kazan's staging. When I saw it in March 2012 at the Barrymore it was almost like going decades back in time to the Morosco Theatre and witnessing theatrical history. In those first few moments when Hoffman shuffles toward the Loman house — in a rumpled suit, cases in hand, shoulders collapsed forward — I immediately recognized the iconic image from the '49 Playbill cover. Was is it a coincidence or was it Nichols' meticulous direction? I'd like to believe the latter.
Water, Water Everywhere: If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet, by Roundabout Theatre Company Off-Broadway, was one of those rare productions where the design concept made the entire play. Sure, I liked Nick Payne's script. And the cast led by Annie Funke and Jake Gyllenhaal was smashing. But it was scenic designer Beowulf Boritt's unbelievable use of water and a literal pool of sorrow in front of the stage that left me in awe of the production. I still can't figure out how the heck that crew cleaned up the stage every night!

James Corden in Broadway's One Man, Two Guvnors: My night at One Man, Two, Guvnors was one of the most delightful evenings I've had at the theatre in a long time. The entire London-based cast, including Oliver Chris, Jemima Rooper and Tony nominee Tom Edden, were wonderful! But it was James Corden's loveable loon Francis Henshall that stole the whole show — and eventually the Tony Award for Best Actor away from "sure bet" Philip Seymour Hoffman.
A Return to The Lion King: It had been over a decade since I had last seen The Lion King. I definitely felt like a kid again when I got the chance to return to the show as an adult last month. I was reminded that Julie Taymor created one of the finest opening numbers in Broadway history!

Article: Twins Upper Level Talent
You can view the page at http://www.twinsdaily.com/content.ph...r-Level-Talent
Yeah, I agree that it is a terrible assessment to claim that there is no talent at the upper levels. It's as though people are thinking of the organization at the beginning of 2011 or something, when that was clearly true.
By the way, if for some reason the Twins keep Dozier down at New Britain at the beginning of the year, and Hicks and Morales are promoted, doesn't a lineup of Hicks, Herrmann, Dozier, Morales, and Bigley look pretty good for the first part of the year?
I agree. Just because most of our top prospects are in the lower levels of the minors, doesn't we don't have talent at the upper levels. Plus, you never know when a prospect that is projected to have a lower ceiling may step up and surprise us. That is part of the beauty of this game.
"And we'll see ya tomorrow night!!!!"
Here's hoping the Twins stay healthy this year so that we, in Rochester, can enjoy watching these prospects develop. Rushing these youngsters to the Big Leagues does no one any good.
There is talent in the Twins' organization, but my major objection on the way that the Twins are dealing with AAA (to please Rochester among other things is that they sign a whole bunch of never-had beens and throw them there that keeps Twins' prospect talent in New Britain and Fort Myers.) I do get the point to target 3-4 good veterans in their 20s (from the 2010 season heap pile Aaron Bates and Ray Chang fit the bill.) But getting the likes of 30yo+ players in Rochester while repressing Twins' prospect talent development does not make much sense. Given they did better this season.
Hughes will enter his age 27 season, Plouffe his age 26. I think that they were not "rushed" by any means. It is just that the Twins have this way of developing talent slower than most teams. The heap-pile signings I refered to previously contribute big time to that because there is the domino effect.
I generally agree, Thrylos, but I can't say I have disagreed with some of the minor league signings. Last year, it made a ton of sense to sign Jeff Bailey because Parmelee wasn't ready for AAA yet. Chase Lambin made sense. those two were veterans with a ton of experience who filled a need in Rochester. Adding the likes of Chuck James and Phil Dumatrait don't hurt because they didn't hold any prospects back. They needed someone like Andy Baldwin to eat some of the starts and innings because they didnt have prospect starters pushign their way to AAA. The exception was Liam Hendriks, but having the veterans in Rochester didn't keep them from promoting a real prospect like that. I like a lot of this year's minor league free agents. With Parmelee now at 1B, I think adding Bates was fine based on last year, but adding Steve Pearce was a bit much. I really like Ray Chang as a utility infielder. Burroughs was a nice signing. There are a ton of bullpen arms that they added and some starters, but based on what I've seen in the past, if guys are ready for AAA, they go to AAA. Not all of those minor league pitchers will be in the organization in a month.

I like the Twins farm system, I think it is deep, there are a lot of players that could develop into something good, I wish we had one or two guys that legitimately profiled as #1 starters (let's not kid ourselves, having guys we hope could be #1s isn't the same thing as having guys we believe will be #1s), but overall it's a strong enough system to suit most of the Twins needs.
Still, I understand the claim. Sano could be an All-star, I certainly think Rosario could be. But most people aren't holding their breath for Benson, Arcia, Hendriks and Gibson. Benson and Arcia are both great prospects that are close to the majors but both have the same big hole in their game: strikeouts. Gibson and Hendriks are both proven pitchers but lack the stuff to truly be great. So the Twins don't have anyone in the upper levels right now that looks ready to step up and become a star right now. There's no one that will force the Twins to make room for them. I think that's ok. Those kind of guys don't come around all that often, and it's hard to find guys that have everything together and will move through the system quickly when you are drafting 20th or later every year. So I don't think the Twins do have that star in the upper levels of their system, but neither do a lot of other teams, and I like our depth and the prospects that we do have.
Maybe when you hear it you think people are dissing all of the prospects in the upper levels. I don't really see it that way. The Twins have a bunch of guys that are ready to fill holes soon, and could develop into starters, but not that guy who everyone thinks will be an all star. If the Twins had that guy their farm system would probably be ranked in the top 5 or so. As it is, most people rank the system above average, and cite the lack of a future all star waiting in the wings as really the one area that's missing.
I agree with the general comments here about the Twins and how they have seemed to treat Rochester. There was a study by someone at Baseball Prospectus last year about this (and Gleeman wrote about it). The Twins give something like 200 more plate appearances for their position players than the second team on the list. That seems a bit excessive. And for pitchers, I think they were right near the top in innings pitched. I think this can often hamper players some. Span was foundering in the minors. Steve Singleton and Steve Tolleson are two other examples, at a problematic position. Garrett Jones maybe as well. Dustin Martin? Not that those guys were going to be stars otherwise, but I do think that getting stuck behind the Toby Gardenhires of the world can be a problem. Last year's signings made sense, but some of them this year seem excessive. Is Dozier actually going to start at New Britain? How are *both* Drew Butera and Rene Rivera in this organization when Danny Lehmann and esp. Chris Herrmann might actually be productive catchers? Is Steve Pearce there just in case a total disaster happens and both Parmelee and Bates have to be up with the Twins? Mastroianni *and* Wilkin Ramirez? Joe Benson isn't going to New Britain as well, right?
Seth, last season I'd rather seen Steve Hirschfeld, Bobby Lanigan, Tyler Robertson (all repeat performers at AA last season, btw) than Eric Hacker, Thomas (not Scott) Diamond, Yorman Bazardo and Andrew Baldwin, for example. Position players are a different story, but as soon as they signed Bates, Baily should have been cut. Toby was around way too much and if his last name were anything but Gardenhire, he wouldn't had been around...

The problem is the Twins philosphy. They never sign power hitters or pitchers because these players dont fit Gardy's way of thinking. Without power pitchers you will never win a playoff series which the Twins have proved correct. I hope they change their thinking soon. The only reason we were able to sign the power bat Sano is because other teams know he is 4 years older than he claims and the Twins failed to do their homework. A player of Sano's age should be in AAA not ETown.

Seems to me the reason the twins get poked as not having "upper-level talent" is because the standard they're being judged against is having a no-doubt impact hitter or pitcher that's effectively one promotion away from being a ROY candidate. Which is an absurd standard. How many teams are really there? And how many of those "sure-fire" guys end up busting out anyways?
The Twins have a number of guys that are close to competing for MLB jobs. There are several that project as starters, others as bench guys. None of them project as all-stars, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of them emerged that way. (Parmelee's fall stint with the club is probably a result of small sample sizes, expanded rosters, and meaningless fall games...but it might not be! He might be an impact bat and big-time hitter. I look forward to finding out, just hope it's not because Morneau's career comes to a end)
I do have problems with the Twins' philosophy is general, but to tell the honest true, twice they drafted the highest power rated prospect in the draft (Parmelee, Travis Harrison) and after Bill Smith took over, they have been drafting power arms as well... Just they are not many power arms and bats in the prospect pool before the draft and those guys usually go on the top 10-15 picks... Even is Sano is 25, he is still the best power prospect in the minors. Age does not make his bat less powerful.

Thrylos - Robertson was bad as a starter in 2010 in New Britain and was moved to the bullpen after that season. His second half last year was terrific and a direct result of staying at the level. Look at Lanigan's 2011 numbers. Are you sure he should have been in AAA? I'm not saying those AAA starters were good, but there are times when you can't push the prospects and have to get a minior league free agent instead.
shanewahl - Span was floundering in the minors... how does that indicate he needed to move up? I agree with you on Tolleson and especially Singleton. Garrett Jones plays RF, 1B and DH... at the time, the Twins had Cuddyer, Morneau and Kubel at those positions. I like Wilkin Ramirez. Two years ago, he was a top 5-6 Tigers prospect. he's got talent. he's a good guy to take a chance with. I don't get the Mastroianni thing either. I like Herrmann as much as anyone, but I definitely think another half-season of AA would be best for him. 200 at bats is like 2 months or a little less.
jmlease - that's my point... lots of sure-thing guys bust, and if the Twins, in fact, have 4-5 guys who should be big league starters who will start the season in AAA, that's not a bad thing at all... that was really my point.
I think Seth points out the Twins have some players in the upper levels of the minors that are potential Major Leaguers, and I agree with that. However, I think it's also safe to say that it doesn't look like there are any true impact players in the bunch listed. Most, if not all of these guys appear to be role players, instead of first division starters. I think if you compare the Twins at this level, you will find they are in the lower half of the league. However, the good news is that the White Sox and Indians upper levels are even more barren, so at least as far as the Central goes the Twins are probably middle of the road. The years of high draft picks for the Royals is finally producing, and it looks like the Tigers may have a couple of pretty decent pitchers about ready. It was good to see the Twins breaking from the recent past in the 2011 draft, by taking some guys with different skills than they traditionally have early. Now it's all about whether those players reach potential and if the Twins staff can build on their strengths instead of trying to make every guy hit or pitch, exactly the same way.
I think this is a really good point. But we all have to realize that just being a big league starter doesn't mean the player is a top talent, or even impact player. How many of these guys would be considered potential starters for the Phillies, Tigers, Yankees, Rays, Red Sox, Reds, Brewers, etc, or any of the other first division teams? Maybe Benson, based upon his athletic ability, but that's probably it, and he wouldn't be considered a potential starter until 2013 at the earliest.
I get what you're saying, but to be honest, I don't care if they would start for those other teams. The Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies are the only teams that may be able to afford getting stars at all positions. Any team with a payroll south of $140 million is going to have a few players making league minimum. Playoff and winning teams will need some stars too, and that gets back to the discussion about how the Twins really need to get health and performance from Mauer, Morneau, Span, Liriano and Baker... those are the impact players. I guess my other point is that sometimes these guys that are considered 2nd or 3rd tier prospects by the experts come in and perform very well, above expectations, for 3-5 years when they are most valuable to their teams.

Sure, the 2nd or 3rd tier prospects come in and perform as you would expect a 2nd or 3rd tier player to perform...league average. How many more role players and middle relievers does this team need? I for one don't feel the problem is a lack of talent in the upper minors, it's the lack of impact/first division regular type talent. Right now Sano is the only consensus impact talent in the entire system, the next closest group (Benson, Arcia, Rosario) are more popular with some scouts/publications than others and are probably overvalued by Twins fans and bloggers.
There is huge difference between Impact players and Role players on a roster. The Twins have a lot of talent in New Britain and Rochester but only a few of them are impact players. Let's look at the following players;
1. Chris Parmelee- He will be a future impact player if he continues to develop in Rochester.
2. Brian Dozier- It's uncertain what role Dozier will play with the Twins in the future. Some view him as a utility player and others view him as the starting SS. Time will tell but he could be an impact player.
3. Joe Benson- He has all the tools to be a superstar player. However, he has taken a little longer to develop and at times looks overmatched. He strikesout way too much and does not make enough contact. I'm leaning towards Benson being a role player.
4. Kyle Gibson- Nobody knows how he will recover from T.J. surgery. He won't be ready until 2013 and might be a #3 pitcher in the starting rotation. Clearly he is role player.
5. Liam Hendriks- He appears to be a pretty solid middle of the rotation starter (#3 or #4). Might improve some more at Rochester and surprise some people. He is a role player.
6. Rene Tosoni- He has good opposite field power but clearly is not a starting outfielder. There also is no room for him unless somebody is traded. A 4th outfielder at best for Twins and another role player.
7. Aaron Hicks- He is still young and talented enough to put it all together and become the next Torii Hunter. However, he has been very inconsistent over the last two years and his stock has fallen. I believe he will produce if he can make it to the majors. Right now that is a big IF.
8. Luke Hughes- He has good power and plays decent defense at 2B (His best position). Does not appear to be a everyday player because he gets injured too often. He will make the team as a bench/role player.
9. Alex Wimmers- Struggled with control problems but came back strong towards the end of last year. Not sure if he will become stagnant or continue to move through the system. Projects to be a #3 or #4 pitcher and that'sbeing optimistic. A role player.
10. Carlos Gutierrez- He has all the talent to be a real good big league reliever. He struggles with his control sometimes on the mound and it snowballs into big innings. Could be a dominant force in the 7thor 8th inning if he can make adjustments. A role player.Last edited by Fanatic Jack; 03-08-2012 at 03:11 PM.
The Twins have a decent minor league system but let's be honest, it's not the Tampa Bay Rays.

Fair enough... but I think we all know that there is a difference between an Impact player and a role player... individual definitions of each are dependent upon each person's opinion. I guess I would have to add another option in between those two. In my mind, a guy like Dozier may not be an Impact player if defined as a multi-time All-Star. But if a guy becomes a guy who plays 140 games a year for 3-6 years, that's certainly more than just a role player. I also don't believe that a #3 starter is a "role" player either. He may not be a Cy Young candidate and make that big of an impact, but to a 25 man roster, the number 3 starter is certainly more than just a role player. In my prospect rankings, I generally don't rank relievers very high, but if you Carlos Gutierrez becomes "a dominant force in the 7th or 8th inning", that's a very important role. If Rene Tosoni is a platoon starter or a bench bat, that's a role player, for sure.
My point wasn't to say that the Twins have a lot of guys who will be Hall of Famers in the upper levels, but they have 5-6 guys who could contribute in a big way (as a starter in the lineup, as a starting in the rotation, or a key component in the bullpen) and several others who can fill roles. The cupboard is far from bare.

Derek Holland Amuses Joe Buck With His Harry Caray And Arnold Impressions
If you didn't know before, you have to know now -- Rangers' 25-year-old lefty Derek Holland doesn't take himself too seriously. I mean, just look at that mess on his upper lip:
Well, after pitching a gem in Game 4, Holland didn't waste away Game 5 biting his finger nails, nervously rocking back and forth in the corner of the dugout or getting wasted in the clubhouse. No, he used that time to work on his Harry Caray and Governator impressions. First, here's his Arnold:
Not bad, but a"milk is for babies" reference would've gone a long way with me. Here's Holland's Harry Caray:
Derek Holland's Caray impression was actually much better in this interview with Ian Kinsler, but to be fair it has to be hard for a player to be put on the spot like that on national television during the World Series when people are undoubtedly judging (look at the baby, look at the baby). Credit to Holland for keeping everybody loose during a tense time. Is there any doubt that Holland would eat himself if he was a hot dog and he was starving?
