I live right above Union Depot station, gotta work that night so can't join you guys, but if you hear someone yell "Gleeman!!" or even "Geek!!" it's probably me ;-)

Buxton, Sano, Meyer, Berrios?, Rosario or Steward - top 5 (6)

Do I have to mention Carlos Gomez? Although I'm sure Gomez wouldn't have what he is doing if he stayed with the Twins. I hope they stay patient with him until Buxton or Rosario are ready

Patience. First run for Vargas through AA. See how he adjusts when pitchers adjust to him. Sano,Rosario andBuxton wern't promonted until post- all star game last year

Seriously, it was about Apple deleting podcasts from thier istore. Something about MLB too. Olbermann thought it was funny that someone wanted to podcast about the Twins and even funnier that someone wanted to litsen to a podcast about the Twins (oooch - alittle)

Keith Olbermann mentioned Gleeman and the Geek tonight

I thought Seth was the corny one - "Do I make you"?!? "Life is hard"!?! Wow...

The bigger question maybe does Hicks starts with Twins or in AAA? They probably want him starting in AAA rather than backing up in majors.

Not (hopefully) a important position battle, but who is backing Mauer at 1st? Parmalee, Calobello? or babe Plouffe?

I really like how coachable, humble and the drive he has. Unlike a few other prospects we have....

I don't like the reports of his diva-like attitude. Maybe it makes me *too* Minnesotain, but arrogance isn't a trait I hold high

Hopefully Perkins can teach him a few things about the mental side. The article about Perkins and Greg Maddox last year was fascinating. Also as a big fan of yoga (5x a week myself too) hopefully some of the mental aspects of that (focus, being present, etc.) will help Mays too.

Viola is now AAA pitching coach for the Mets correct?

Total arm replacement could be named "Miguel Sano surgery"

I'm not sure. Hicks did throw in the 90's in high school. So did Buxton for that matter...
