Is Francisco Liriano the Franchise?Posted by nols1199 in Untagged |

With all of the speculation over the Minnesota Twins starting rotation being up for grabs, one major question to answer is, should Francisco Liriano be deemed the “Franchise” now or should this tag go to Delmon Young, Joe Mauer, Michael Cuddyer (new team leader) or Justin Morneau?
For those of you who haven’t seen the Twins Territory commercial that aired on the Super Bowl and was created by Periscope, who really is the face of the Twins these days?
With Torii Hunter gone, who was the clear leader in the clubhouse as well as Mr. Cy Young Santana gone, which Twin will take over as the identity and leader that this club needs for 2008 as well as the future? My guess is that it will be one of the three gentleman featured in the Twins Territory clip, as much as I wish it was TK, that is not who I’m referring to.
Who do you think the Twins need to be the identity of the team this year?

Liriano deserves Franchise for pitchers because that is what Reddog named him and he is....
But, I say overall, it is Morneau.
I'd say this year they need Morneau to be the identity and have his 2006 season. But, I'd say that the new guys (Gomez and Young) will need to step in and be ready to go also.
Down the line, I'd like the Twins to have a "team" identity and not just one single player.
