I rely on TD for news about the team, since I live in Missouri, my only chance to see the major league club firsthand is when they play Kansas City. I occasionally get to Cedar Rapids to see a game (love the ballpark). I can write about the games I've seen, but that would mostly go toward the comment section. Please don't go.
Charlie Montoya, the Rays AAA manager. He comes across well in John Feinstein's latest book. And for pitching coach, that guy from the Pirates who fine-tuned Vance Worley.
I've made a couple visits to Cedar Rapids in the last few years and love the ballpark. That would be a great place for the Twins to wind up.
Wichita is no longer a AA club; they're in the American Association with Lincoln and the Saints, among others.
I lived in Hibbing during Duluth's days in the Northern League and they didn't draw that hot. It's hard to imagine an affiliated team there. I agree with whoever said LaCrosse and similar cities in the area missed the boat several years back when the Midwest League expanded east.
I know Green Bay's a recent Northwoods League entry. What's their stadium situation? Certainly as a market, it would be better than Wausau or Duluth.
IIRC, Martire Garcia got released in the middle of last season.
While we're on the subject, where are Wander Guillen and Francisco Nunez, who was 9-1 with 5 saves in the DSL last year? Not to mention, Seth's #1 DSL prospect, SS Ronald Jiminez?
