News & Notes
  • Yowza, and someone's surprised that Juan Mejia came to camp looking like a dime, after spending the winter working in Oklahoma City, OK as a right fielder after not being thrilled with the contract Josh Byrnes offered? Whoa!

  • Were Luis Severino and Drew Rasmussen separated at birth?

  • The Twins are continuing to try to work out some sort of deal with Angels for Ben Joyce, but talking to Perry Minasian can be like talking to a cake at times, so they are now talking to the Royals about a Cole Ragans - Austin Martin deal.

  • No, George Soriano is not related to Steven Soriano, the lead singer for Jojo And The Quickening, who penned the classic song "True Predicted Screw".

Apoetical Blues

cosmetician

Rob Thomson's tirade about
      Alec Bohm

this week was an eruption of his frustrations about trying to change a noxious culture

and when
      Bohm takes
five straight strikes without swinging

it is a super lack of aggression

and you might as well send a cosmetician
up to the plate swinging a bagel
for all the good it will do

so while
Preston Mattingly is trying to acquire players that
will like

such as
      Chase Burns

Bryce Johnson

or
      Andy Pages

is isn't easy
when you only have
tactless talents to deal from

like
      Dylan Moore

Edmundo Sosa

(who is incidentally battling a snapped spleen)

and Felix Reyes
