Joe Christensen reported today that Blackburn's turn around in the minors (and recall to the show) is from reviewing tape from '09. I wonder if he meant reading this article? http://www.startribune.com/sports/163042356.html

The icing on that cake is that they went over Delmon's head.

I wish I woulda seen this sooner... I might have won the Trivia question on the radio broadcast. [who pitched against Molitor in '91]. And as a father of a son born during the baseball season, I concur with your understanding.

Something that caught me off guard was a quote from Terry Ryan regarding Luke Hughes. When discussing the process and how Luke is sitting in the TC's waiting for the plane ticket on where to go he mentioned he'd like to talk to Luke "sooner rather than later". IMO that means he's hoping to be able to trade him. Makes me assume he was dangled on the waivers as a way to test his market value and not seem overly rushed into making roster moves (like Boston). By keeping Burroughs around is Valencia's leash is getting tighter or is it that Burroughs (I'm assuming) has limited to no value on the trade market? Based on the "sooner rather than later" and the emphasis on defense this team should be getting back to, I expect a lot of projects to be moved quietly this year. Also, has there been any word on the compensation for Luke?

I agree with Twins Fan From Afar... no surprise. Congrats on the stellar stats, hope that helps bring in some good adverts. PS Avatar to come soon.
