So Larnach has quietly turned into the Twins best hitter? When did that happen?

He's got a double major from NDSU in Microbiology and Bio-Technology. He got his Masters from the U of M. Smart guy...can't believe he's related to me!

That's awesome! 

[wsnydes]

Provus just said that Larnach leads the team in WAR.  Never would have guessed that.

I thought today coming into work that this next week would be the best opportunity to bring up Palacios.  

I thought the same thing, Palacios had a pretty good spring training & AAA when he got to play. Best wishes to Palacios. Go Twins!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting settled into the new place, and Gary goes yard!

 

I still maintain that Kaat is a bad announcer unless you are looking for pure nostalgia

Tuesday afternoon game against the Tigers and seemingly half the regulars are out.  Shouldn't be too shocking.

[operation mindcrime]

That's just a camouflaged shoe ad, isn't it?

ROCCO!!1!

The contract given to Dobnak should have been given to Smeltzer instead. What a dumb mistake!

I've always been pretty low on Larnach and I'm very happy to be wrong about that.

The second coming of Morneau?

One can't predict random finger injuries that never seem to heal. Random crap happens to players and particularly pitchers and failing to predict those things isn't "dumb".

Yeah. He kinda gets lost in the glut of decent young hitters the Twins farm system has produced in recent years

Those with visuals, how'd Buxton look rounding the bases?

I thought he looked pretty good.  Cringed when he did a head first slide that seemed unnecessary, but he popped up just fine from that too.
