While this hottie couldn’t resist David Wright, Tim opted to pick up someone else with his first rounder. Well folks, now that 2009 is well underway, is there a better way to commence the New Year than getting that first league draft of 2009 under my belt? I’m not talking mock draft, but the...

When you have a lineup that doesn't feature a lot of power or a lot of great on-base percentages, it sure helps to have a cleanup hitter who is as ridiculously effective as Justin Morneau has been this season. Morneau entered last night's game with a .345/.434/.619 line with runners in scoring posit...

Probably the most exciting thing about the Twins 2008 Spring Training campaign was the battle for the position vacated by Torii Hunter. Only one could win and the loser was destined to start 2008 in AAA. It was a great battle but one had to lose…or did he? Carlos Gomez barley beat out Denard S...
