Minnesota Twins next big prospect: Chris Colabello

By

Chris Colabello’s run from being last season’s Independent Player of the Year (Baseball America) to setting a new team record for runs batted in during his first affiliated season to earning runner-up honors as the Eastern League’s Most Valuable Player is little short of miraculous.  It also has given the 28-year-old first baseman a full plate of baseball for this fall and … [Read more...] about Minnesota Twins next big prospect: Chris Colabello

My “beef” with NBA contracts: Part I – Bad Contracts

By

I love to get paid just as much as the next guy. But when it comes to figuring out a budget and where to spend your money, I think some GM's are lost.

Time to Blow Up the Minnesota Twins Pitching Rotation

By

The Minnesota Twins are evidence of Murphy’s Law taking effect this season. Whatever could have gone wrong certainly has for the ball club. That is why it is time for pitching coach Rick Anderson to take his approach and turn it upside down. Some say, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This staff is busted into a million little pieces right now. … [Read more...] about Time to Blow Up the Minnesota Twins Pitching Rotation

Twins Vs. Tigers: AL Central Race Heating Up Now?

By

Outside of Justin Morneau, Jason Kubel is the most prolific bat in the Twins lineup on a consistent basis. He has more potential than Joe Mauer to put up big time numbers in the RBI and home run departments. The argument could also be made for Delmon Young or Michael Cuddyer, but I would wonder if those that would bring up those names have ever been to a batting practice … [Read more...] about Twins Vs.
