  1. Wishing Kyler Fedko a speedy recovery, I'll be cheering for him. Great story.
  2. After some initial hesitation after watching him at the plate in Cedar Rapids last season, I am now on board the Marek Houston fan wagon. He has proven me wrong and made me a believer with his bat and continued to improve and impress offensively. Keep goin' kid.
  3. The offense for the Minnesota Twins has been exceeding expectations for the first four months of the season and I don't think it's a trend that can continue for the entire season. I fear the trading deadline hype/moves by the Twins will be for naught and we'll get little to nothing for the likes of Ryan Jeffers when he hits free agency.
  4. I'm not "buying" that the Twins aren't selling" here. One of them will be gone.
  5. The article concluded with "And if Tom Pohlad truly wants to show that this era of Twins baseball will be different, shipping off Joe Ryan would certainly be a bold first step." I strongly disagree. If Tom Pohlad truly wants to show that this era of baseball will be "different", then signing Joe Ryan to a contract extention would be a bold first step. Trading Joe Ryan now is another year of wash, rinse, repeat.
  6. Ben Ross is electrifying, saw him play plenty of times in Cedar Rapids, IMHO he could be a viable option for that final bench spot as utility and pinch runner.
  7. I don't quite understand all the hype regarding Walker Jenkins. He's always been ranked highly, but his numbers in the minor leagues (when healthy) have been good at times, but by no means ever great. Saw him play for the St, Paul Saints on Sunday and had one good swing for a base hit in four at bats and his AAA stats this year are okay, but nothing video-game like. Over-hyped IMHO.
  8. This season is my first since 2010 that I have NOT been a Twins season ticket holder. Nothing about this season thus far has me thinking "I'm a Believer."
  9. I was in Toledo last night on our 27th annual baseball road trip and the crowd at the stadium to see Verlander was really something. The video below shows many of his teammates around the future Hall of Fame pitcher during his pregame warmups. The announced attendance was 10,500, about a quarter of whom left when Verlander was relieved with two outs in the 6th inning to a standing ovation. Kudos to Fedko, Gonzalez, Wallner, and Sabato for getting some good wood on the ball. When we planned our road trip six months ago, not in our wildest dreams was seeing Verlander in a rehab stint on our BINGO card. IMG_5067.MOV
