Niko was taken off the DL Saturday night, being cleared to play in Sunday's possible division-clinching game against Peoria. And play he did, going 3-4 with a double, walk, RBI and 3 runs scored. ...

Not much of an update this week, as Niko was recovering from last week's concussion and did not see any action. Let's hope he's back soon!

Niko rightfully was named to the MWL All Star Game this morning. Congratulations and let's hope he is healthy enough to play by then...

****...with the sorry state of the Twins rotation we could see him as the opening day starter next year :)

Scary stuff. Niko being carted off on a stretcher and driven away by on-field ambulance:

I've listened to the pop of that grand slam contact about 10 times, now. It's a true thing of beauty...CRACKKK!

John Sickels posted a quite complimentary write-up on Niko (and Jorge Polanco) today: Prospect Notes: Niko Goodrum, Jorge Polanco - Minor League Ball

Weekly Roundup (5/6-5/12)
For some reason, Niko started the week with a couple games at DH and proceeded to go 0-9 with 4 strikeouts. However, after being re-inserted in the defensive lineup, Niko...

From what I've seen on Twitter - Miguel has a bruised elbow from the HBP. Says he'll be out at least 2 days.

Weekly Roundup (4/29-5/5)
Another nice week for Niko. Hitting primarily in the #2 spot for the red-hot Kernels, Niko is quietly molding himself into an on-base machine. To wit, he's currently in...

Sticking with my man Niko Goodrum

I had always assumed that we'd keep the same players until they either made it to the bigs or washed out and then added new players each Spring and after the draft. Would like to keep Niko and...

Except for AJ, Torii, Nathan, Big Papi, Kubel, Casey Blake, Garrett Jones, Jesse Crain, etc...

I'd say that's more of a coin flip for how various MLB careers play out, not some credit or detriment...
