Here is your morning talker:
*The Vikings clearly lack a No. 1 receiver. Bernard Berrian is out the door. Percy Harvin is a great do-everything guy, but he lacks the size and perhaps the durability to be a No. 1 guy. Michael Jenkins? No. Sidney Rice was that guy in 2009. Randy Moss was that guy for so many years. Right now? There is no No. 1 receiver on this roster.
*The Timberwolves clearly lack a No. 1 scorer. Kevin Love is developing into a wonderful all-around player, but the Wolves will never be a serious contender if he's their primary guy. Michael Beasley is a gifted scorer, but he's not your top guy. Derrick Williams might be, but we don't know yet. Ricky Rubio is likely not that guy.
*The Twins clearly lack a No. 1 starter. Francisco Liriano has the stuff, but we're all about at the end of our ropes in terms of consistency. Scott Baker, best-case, is a No. 2 or 3 guy. Carl Pavano is a middle of the rotation guy. Nobody else is in the conversation.
Our questions:
1) Which of these problems will be addressed first?
2) Which is the most glaring/problematic?
Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part. Follow @randball on Twitter.
