Kennys Vargas

Yesterday I mentioned how the acquisition of Logan Morrison would affect our current roster. Today I'll talk about one specific Twin it will affect: Kennys Vargas.

The Twins now have three first basemen who can DH. Joe Mauer, Kennys Varga, and Logan Morrison.

Does anyone else see the problem?

Vargas is younger than Morrison. He hits home runs with more frequency than Morrison, and costs less. The thing is Morrison was great last season. The handwriting is on the wall. Vargas could very well become as good (or better) than Morrison, but he's not going to do it as a Twin.

Logan Morrison

The Twins finally got the DH they wanted, but now we have an awful lot of left-handed hitters that don't do so well against left-handed pitchers.

I'm interested in who the Twins now keep on their major league roster. Both Grossman and Granite can get on base, but Grossman isn't much good on defense. That hurts his chances with the acquisition of Morrison.

Wolves Win Second Straight Without Butler

Keep going!

U.S. Takes Fourth

You know that if we take that place overall, there really isn't much to the "sports" in the Winter Games...

Curling Report

The U.S. shocked the world last night by taking gold. They have never done that before and no one expected them to even compete with the best this year.

I'm not surprised. Sports that aren't really sports always have big upsets.

Wolves Kicked

sigh

Still Waiting

I decided to skip the Twins first exhibition game yesterday. I probably wouldn't have recognized anyone any way.

And the Wolves haven't played in a week.

Olympics?

eh
