  1. Here's four minutes of video of him pitching in the Cape Cod League. [video=youtube;7sKZIVfIoCw]
  2. Interesting article at MLB.com about the 2003 trade of Pierzynski for Nathan, Francisco and Boof, and the fact that Joe and AJ are now teammates in Texas. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130220&content_id=41818010&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb
  3. Phil Miller and LaVelle Neal also had good things to say about Gibson in their last spring training video. http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/
  4. "Buyer beware" John. Here's a quote yesterday from Gardenhire: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/minnesota-twins-rich-harden-trying-to-come-back-from-shoulder-surgery-021913
  5. Nice to see Gardenhire's quote on Kyle Gibson's pitching BP: Also http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_22623436/minnesota-twins-grooming-young-pitchers-alex-meyer-kyle
  6. Notebook:Trevor Plouffe 'earns right' to get chance to take third base job - Minnesota Twins news | 1500 ESPN
  7. Put them in, Coach: These Twins are ready to play center field | StarTribune.com
  8. If he hits well, the Twins could make him a qualifying offer sufficient to receive a draft pick if he turns them down and signs with another team. He could have a hard time finding a team willing to make him a multi-year offer given his history of injuries and lose a draft pick in the process. That could be a scenario where he takes the Twins one year offer.
  9. Herbek actually jumped from A ball to the majors as did Eisenreich, which is pretty amazing. Gaetti jumped from AA. Viola was drafted in 1981 and made his major league debut within a year. Laudner was draft in 1979 and made his major league debut two years later. The Griffith regime had a little different philosophy about promoting prospects through the system.
  10. Cavan Biggio, son of Craig, was named second team AA.
  11. Zulgad: After a tough year, Brian Dozier has a plan and a new position
  12. Uggh. Even after all these years. Uggh.
  13. Definitely #1 on the list of anybody who followed the '84 team. The most annoying part was when he would explain that he didn't pitch that poorly after blowing another save opportunity. He probably cost the team the division title that year. I read somewhere that Davis would constantly sing "Jimmy Crack Corn," even on the way to pitcher's mound and in the locker room after blowing another save. When the players found out that Davis had been traded to the Cubs, Kirby Puckett led the team in a rendition of "Jimmy Crack Corn."
  14. I'll go with Rich Reese just because he later became CEO of Jim Beam Brands.
  15. Craig wore #2 for the Twins in the late '60s. They traded him to Cleveland in one of worst trades in Twins history.
  16. The new contract includes only $1M in guaranteed money. He can earn another $12.75 over two years through incentives. Y! SPORTS
  17. I remember the agonizing wait for Harmon to hit his 500th home run in 1971. It took him like six weeks to go from 498 to 500.
  18. Ryan seems pretty confident that Pelfrey will be ready opening day. Not so much with Harden.
  19. The trucks have arrived. Red Sox, Twins equipment arrives in SWFL - NBC-2.com WBBH News for Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples, Florida
  20. Thanks for sharing that.
  21. One year contract with a $1M base. He can earn an addition $750K based upon the number days he's on the active roster. Jon Rauch gets $1 million, 1-year deal from Miami Marlins - ESPN
  22. Discussions between Fort Myers and the Nats about being a possible third Spring Training team in the city. http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20130205/NEWS01/302050014/Nationals-want-36-6M-move-Fort-Myers
  23. Can't say I ever saw him play but the fact that Bernie Allen was also a Big Ten quarterback is pretty cool. After Purdue beat Ohio State one year he went after Woody Hayes to see if he still thought Allen too small to play in the Big Ten. No punches thrown though.
  24. I'll second that. Bees games are a blast and Salt Lake City is only 150 miles from Pocatello.
