    Longer story: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/24466097/orioles-close-to-signing-johan-santana I have mixed feelings on this. I'd have loved to see Johan in a Twins uni again but it would have bummed me out if he is just a shell of his former self.

    Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 1h Johan Santana gets $3M plus performance bonuses on minor-league deal.
  3. JB_Iowa
    Yes I do. Thanks.

    And here's Berardino's followup after today's game: http://www.twincities.com/twins/ci_25266890/twins-prospect-danny-santana-has-gardenhires-attention

    I'm guessing so: Dustin Morse ‏@Twins_morsecode 28m OVERHEARD: Gardy on Danny Santana, "The kid has jets, he just flies. Pretty exciting baseball player" #mntwins But so is Buxton: Dustin Morse ‏@Twins_morsecode 30m OVERHEARD: on Byron Buxton "He's the fastest baseball player I have ever seen" #MNTwins

    I can't wait to see him either. I'm sorry he played in the "away" game. But 2 doubles, one from each side of the plate sounds good to me. As does 10.6 seconds from home to 3rd (unofficially). Media guys seem pretty impressed by what they saw (not just by what Twins are telling them).

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 32m Make it 2 triples for Danny Santana, one from each side of the plate. This one scores 2. #mntwins lead 8-2 top 9, still batting .
  8. JB_Iowa
    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 7m Unofficially Danny Santana was timed at 10.6 seconds on that first triple today, home to third. #mntwins

    This thread has "jumped the shark".

    "Routine Fly Ball" Nothing is routine in ST. 12-2

    Please also note that as we grow older, we don't necessarily catch/see things as quickly as we did in our 20's and 30's. I usually re-read my posts (and often use "go advanced" because seeing it as it will post is a little different than seeing it in the square box) but even then, it is easy to miss something. Example: All day yesterday I thought the thread starter's name was "churchadoro" (and I looked at it 3 or 4 times). It wasn't until this a.m. that I saw it was "chuchadoro". Also, there are an awful lot of names to see/figure out in Spring Training. I hope we all get better as the season goes along and the "regulars" settle in. The people who have strong interests in the prospects and minor leaguers will settle in to that board a little more and I expect that those threads will do better on spelling many of those names. And I expect the main board will do a little better at spelling the names of regular players. If someone misspells a name, it isn't a matter of disrespect. A lot of times, someone may spell a name one way because it has always sounded that way to them. And sometimes we just get one spelling in our head and it is hard to "expel". For example, I do a ton of genealogy research but for years I spelled "cemetery" as "cemetary". It was just a bad habit that I never corrected until I was e-mailing with someone who consistently spelled it correctly.

    Might have challenged if it hadn't already been getting late in a runaway ST game. But it will be interesting to see how use develops.
  13. JB_Iowa
    Nice Dp there.
  14. JB_Iowa
    But it sure is a lot more fun watching the Twins so far in ST than the last few seasons have been. I'll take it for as long as I can get it!
  15. JB_Iowa
    Mitchell hits one out after his earlier sac fly. Fun to see someone take advantage of opportunities.
  16. JB_Iowa
    I have that things like leadership matter .... and things like personality ... and things like ground conditions .... and weather ... and crowd support .... and a myriad of other factors. Because if I didn't think that, I'd just watch a videogame.
  17. JB_Iowa
    Well, geez, you step out of the room for a minute and come back and its 6-0 for the good guys.
  18. JB_Iowa
    Rhett Bollinger ‏@RhettBollinger 9m Kevin Corrreia gets through three hitless innings with one walk. He also threw two hitless innings in Thursday's intrasquad game.
  19. JB_Iowa
    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 16m Make it 3 shutout innings for @VANIMAL_49. 39 pitches, 30 strikes, Markakis fly-ball double and nothing else. FPS 7/10. #MNTwins Wow, I guess he did come in "in shape".
  20. JB_Iowa
    Steinbach is managing at Hammond and Molitor is his bench coach, I believe.
  21. JB_Iowa
    Except for Swarzak's outing, it seems like most of the Twins pitchers have come into ST ready to go. Question is whether they can keep improving.
  22. JB_Iowa
    Per Bollinger: he's now 5-for-6 with three doubles so far this spring.
  23. JB_Iowa
    I'll settle for .340 and above.
  24. JB_Iowa
    Florimon is apparently healing pretty quickly. Taking swings off the tee already.
  25. JB_Iowa
    Sac Fly by Mitchell to right center. 4-0. Escobar with a shallow fly to left. Twins out for the inning.
