As we turn the calendar page from 2012 to 2013, it’s also time to turn the page and look forward to the 2013 season. The Roster & Payroll page has become a pretty popular destination for TwinsDaily.com visitors, so I’ve decided to make some changes to make it MORE informational (can you believe it?) but also more reader-friendly. The 2012 page has been skinned down to the big-league payroll and is still viewable here (link not available yet...). The meat and ...
First and foremost, you may notice a dearth of postings in this area for the next week or so. We peanuts are on our way to Montana for a much needed vacation, and we'll try our best to be in the moment rather than on the computer, so the blogging slow down is inevitable. This will be the first time that I (the male member of our salty/roasted snack bag) have been back to Montana in 7 years. My wife makes semi-annual trips to see her grandmother, uncle and relatives in Billings, while ...

I think 2009-2012 was that window, and they missed that window due to career altering injuries, poor front office management, and the damn Yankees. Justin Morneau suffering a concussion when he had just reached his absolute peak, was a more crippling blow then most realized. ...
As many can tell I am not a typical Twins blogger in that my posts are very infrequent. That is because I go to school in Texas and am very busy. I know everybody is busy, but for me my blogging is a hobby that I only do if I have time for it. I will blog more in the summer when I don’t have classes, but I felt the need the need to write my feelings with how everything is going with the Twins right now. As many of you know I was 30 years old when I went back to College and will ...
