Aaron Hicks goes 5-6 today with 2 doubles and a homerun. He also scored 5 runs. This brings his average up to .284. Good to see this kid finally starting to blossom and I will eagerly anticipate how mangagement plays this out the rest of the year.
Alright, sitting here passing the time and I started thinking about something.. We are nearly a month into the season. I want to hear a minor league first month all star team. Can be any level as long as every position is filled.. curious to see some of these answers!!
Alright, I have never been a fan of Casilla. He has always been lackadaisical both in the field and at the plate/running bases. I can recall several times him forgetting how many outs there were. We and the Twins were patient with him because we did see flashes of a very exciting player.

Just read your article on Twins defense this year and I couldn’t agree more.

I read your article on Walker Jenkins. Derek Falvey’s player scouting and development operation has produced few, if any, long term starting position players who can field and hit well enough to be regulars over a nine year period. For this reason I am inclined to be skeptical about Jenkins until he proves otherwise. I hope I’m proven wrong but, given the Twins inability to find and develop position players who have the ability to hit and defend over any period of time, I fear I may be proven correct. We shall see.
