Preseason

While the Twins are starting to settle into a disappointing losing streak, I've decided to see what the rest of the teams may be doing this spring.

Kris Bryant, a Cub's 2013 draft pick, is starting to catch everyone's attention. Even with a sore shoulder, he hit his 7th and 8th home runs of the preseason yesterday. That's currently FOUR more than anyone else this spring.

The Cubs weren't planning on promoting him this year, but they haven't sent him back to AAA ball yet either. He's kind of making the case for himself to stay with his bat.

It's fun to see what other young budding superstars are doing, even if if they are all exhibition games at this point. But it's always good to remember that Aaron Hicks got 5 dingers in spring training a couple of years back as well.

And he's still trying to make the team every year. One good spring doesn't always mean that much in the grand scheme of things.

Just like 5 straight losses don't mean that much to the Twins.

Yet.
