Monday Morning Update
Hey everyone! I don’t really have a lot today. I did post my thoughts on Torii Hunter signing with the Los Angeles
Angels of Anaheim on Friday, so be sure to check that out. Here are just a couple of quick bullet points.
I do have a couple of postings ready for the next couple of days, so be sure to
come back!
·
Bob Nightengale is
right up there, in my opinion, with Ken Rosenthal in terms of having great
inside baseball information. However, he has an
incredible article about the last couple of weeks in the life of Torii Hunter.
It is interesting to read the thoughts of some of the people directly involved
in his negotiations with other teams and some of the people that tried to
convince Torii to play for their team.
·
Of course, everyone has an opinion on the Torii
Hunter signing. I hate to pick a couple out, but I would just encourage you to
go to the Twins blogs on the left side of this screen for plenty of opinion on
the subject.

Pat Neshek is down in
Florida preparing for the 2008 season. He has also been able to write on his blog a
bit more. First, he had another Game Used Auction. But he also recently signed
1,000 certified cards for Topps that will be inserted into 2008 packs (unsure
which set). It was incredibly interesting to read how it all worked and get his
thoughts on it. It’s so fun to read this kind of stuff from someone who truly
cares about fans and collectors!
·
Over at John Sickels site, there is an interesting diary on
potential trade partners for Johan Santana.
·
At www.mlbtraderumors.com, there is an interesting
discussion
on the rumored Matt Garza for Delmon Young
discussions. The Comments are very interesting.

Thanks to Blogonoscopy, but this is hilarious!

The Vikings
Defense had quite a day against the NY Giants. I was surprised by how dominant
the team was all-around, even the offense. Tavaris
Jackson was good. Chester Taylor was at least solid. The defense returned three
interceptions for touchdowns which is amazing. They are 5-6 and the schedule is
pretty weak the next three weeks (although I have to believe that the Lions are
better than they have played lately!). Could this team really still be in
playoff contention? Probably not, but it would be cool!
·
Devon Hester. He’s
good.
·
Kurt Warner – you’re
in the end zone, you don’t have all day to find a
receiver!
·
AJ Feeley may have made himself a little money!
That is it for today. If you are hearing any Twins rumors, please be sure to
let me know. Send me an e-mail on such things, or if you have ideas for future
blog postings. Have a great week!
