Minnesota Twins

By Aaron(noreply@blogger.com) David Brown of Yahoo! Sports conducted a highly amusing interview with Denard Span (and special guest Brendan Harris). Sunday is the 65th anniversary of Sid Hartman starting at what was then the Minneapolis Tribune. Here's a new Twins blog to check out: The Blog That Boredom Built.

By Aaron(noreply@blogger.com) At the end of the day the Twins simply need to improve, not because they lost a best-of-five series, but because they won 87 games in baseball's worst division after going 88-75 in 2008 and 79-83 in 2007.

And while his journey to the Majors hasn't been easy, he's developed into a key piece on a Minnesota squad that surged to reach the ALDS. Span can bring much to ALDS ta...

By Aaron(noreply@blogger.com) As has been the case for most of this decade, the Twins had the elite, top-end talent to be an excellent team and struggled mightily filling in the rest of the roster with capable role players.
