More Links, and Podcasts!
Good morning, everyone! Here
is a good example of how exhausted I’ve been… last night, I hosted the SethSpeaks.net
Live Twins Chat here, and about 90 minutes into it, I fell asleep on
the couch. I woke up and answered a couple more questions before calling it a
day! So I apologize for the abbreviated blog today, but here are a couple of things
for you to peruse:
·
First, I will be
on Travis Talks Minnesota
Sports podcast at 9:00 central time tonight. (his
normal time will be Monday nights, but circumstances caused him to move this
week’s show.) There will be talk on the Twins, Vikings, Wolves, Gophers and
more in the 45 minute show. I look forward to talking about other topics too. So,
check it out if you have a chance, and you can call in or send questions
through the chat room.
·
By the way,
Travis finished the work on his Top 50 Twins prospects by posting
his Top 5.
·
Speaking of
podcasts, you should also check out Fanatic Jack’s Twins podcast
tonight, also at 9:00 central time (please remember that you can also
listen to them later as well).
·
Speaking of
Fanatic Jack, he continued his anti-Bill
Smith, anti-Twins front office rant with a blog called When
Hope Turns to Disgust.
·
Surprise!
Surprise!! Guess who the St. Paul Pioneer
Press named their Sports Figure of the Decade?
·
Over the Baggy
bids Adieu to 2009 with some
Twins and AL Central notes, including really good stuff on the Hinske/Kubel debate from last offseason. And, remember how much Twins fans wanted Ty Wigginton?
By the way, with the Twins move to Target Field, I think that you should send
your thoughts on a potential site name change. I don’t think he needs to change
the name, but there could be some interesting suggestions. Mine was After the
Baggy.
·
Nick Nelson
looks at the State of
the Twins rotation as it stands today.
·
Jesse at Twinkie Town wrote – Position
Players: Are the Twins Already Better than Last Year?
·
Rob Delaney
or Mike McCardell?
Who is your choice for the better prospect? Right now at Twinkie Town, the two
are in a run-off
for Twins Prospect #24!
·
Twins Target took
a Premature
Look at the 2010 Twins Roster.
·

Blogger: Get to Know ‘Em this week is with Eric Johnson of the Twins blog Undomed.
·
Speaking of Undomed, he
recently posted his
Top 20 Twins Prospects list, so check it out.
·
I know I heard
this last week, but I haven’t posted it here. Brock Peterson has apparently signed
a minor league contract to stay with the Twins organization. I have heard
nothing yet about Oswaldo Sosa and Matt Moses signing anywhere yet. I have heard that David Winfree
signed elsewhere last week, but I have been unable to confirm that as of yet.
Alright, that is it for
today. I will be back, probably, with my final posting of the 2009 year
tomorrow. Unless, of course, there is any Twins news. Please
feel free to discuss here.
