Jester just a heads up if you copy the part of a youtube link after the v= you can embed the video into the thread and it can just be watched right here. :thumb:

JD thank you very much that is a lot easier than just clicking on a link :)
I understand why you hate Pelfrey, cam, but I really like the way he is throwing now. Wishful thinking probably.
The other guy I hope is in the rotation for another five years is Deduno. I know he's 30, but he is throwing really well and seems to have his control and pitch count issues solved. I love the way he locates his breaking ball, and conversely, how he can't locate his fastball. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but there is so much movement it becomes very difficult to hit. I love how Mauer gives him a target right down the middle on the fastball, knowing it's going to move somewhere.

Long, I personally can't stand the guy he takes so long to pitch, he's like the polar opposite of Mark Buehrle. Also if you ever notice when there's a runner at third he always looks at then when he's in the wind up idk why but it just bothers me. Just go get the freakin batter out.
You're right about Pelfrey's pace, jester, and fielders really hate that. I just like the way he has thrown since he came off the DL. I don't think the Twins are likely to ever spend big $ on a free agent pitcher, so we need a couple of our 30 year olds to carry us until the youngsters are ready. I'm looking more to Deduno and Pelfrey than the others.
