Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Another fun game down at Comerica Park tonight. Nate Robertson took the mound and looked very rough right out of the gate but was able to pull himself together and pitch 6.1 innings. This might not sound like a long outing but for Tiger starters this year Nate’s outing was an extended one.

2007 Minnesota Twins (A Look Forward)

Friday, December 29, 2006

The Minnesota Twins off season has been fairly inactive compared to many teams throughout Major League Baseball. That isn’t to say that there hasn’t been changes, though the Twins likely don’t need to many tweaks before ‘07. Minnesota has always been known for their ability to fully utilize their farm system for growth from within [...]
