The Rise of Josmil Pinto
by Twins Fan From Afar on 05-08-2013 at 09:33 PM
Twins catchers. There's Joe Mauer. Then a big, big gap. Sure, Ryan Doumit can technically sit there and intercept a pitch before it hits the umpire. But
Contrary to what is implied here, I can report that Josmil Pinto DOES
indeed know how to wear his tools of ignorance
Alex Meyer's "Rough" Start
by Twins Fan From Afar on 05-01-2013 at 10:05 PM
For a Twins fan, I had perhaps the best seat in the house. Literally 1 row behind me -- same seat number in fact -- Twins' General Manager Terry Ryan sat with a pencil, scorecard and

Anatomy of a Rock Cats Win & Postgame Conversation with James Beresford

that have come and gone from this stadium.
2013 Rock Cats Annual Welcome Home Dinner: Who is Jason Christian???
by Twins Fan From Afar on 04-04-2013 at 06:30 PM
[Originally published at Twins Fan From Afar]
This was my second year attending the Rock Cats' Annual Welcome Home Dinner. The players attend this function shortly after arriving in Connecticut. In fact, some don't even have housing or vehicles arranged yet! It's truly a crazy time of year for these guys. Last year, I had the good fortune of sitting with Twins' top prospect Alex Wimmers at this charity event that raises funds for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Wimmers was
