Stumbled across this story this morning. The Twins have signed Patrick Arnold, a former Nationals farmhand. His minor league numbers don't exactly jump out (http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=arnold001pat). Sure enough, he's coming back from an injury. But he seems like a quality guy who is pretty involved with his community:


Arnold’s also helping encourage young baseball players to continue playing the game here closer to home.


The West Virginia Baseball Conference will field teams for 13- to 14-year-old kids, and the games will be played at the Kennedy Center along Route 2 outside of Huntington.


If you’re interested in signing up, contact Dan’s Sports Shop at (304) 523-1974.



Welcome to the Twins, Patrick.

Nice. More depth. Good luck to him.

Finally, the front office has really been trying and they really care lately with all of these minor league signings.

Proof the pressure from the Twins Daily fan base works
