The article recapped the campaigns of each of my Top 10 Twins prospects, and the results were... depressing. While the big-league club was wrapping up one of its worst seasons ever, the farm system was in a state o...1791Wed, 10 Jul 2013 02:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/q-ampamp-a-with-kernels-pitcher-steve-gruver-r1790/It's the top of the seventh inning and his team is leading by two runs.

Typically, I post my choices for the monthly minor league award winners within days of the end of the month. Because of a trip to Cedar Rapids and a bum computer, the Hitter of the Month for June is a little tardy. But, better later than never, I guess.

They won on Thursday, but they fell 8-7 on Friday. This is a first. Following the game, my brother played cameraman, and we decided to record the minor league report.
