Minor League
Notebook
First things first, be sure to tune in at 10:00
CST tonight to Twins Minor
League Weekly. Travis Aune and I will
be joined by the play-by-play man of the Ft. Myers Miracle, Alex Margulies.
The hour-long show will discuss each of the four Twins affiliates, and we will
again have a teaser following the live podcast is complete.
Please head over to the TwinsCentric
blog at StarTribune.com. Today, I posted a Minor
League Notebook in which I discussed some injuries, some players that
are playing great and much more.
Since the STrib
blog is quite long, here is a quick glance at what happened on Monday in the
Twins minor league system:
