Every other team keeps falling in line, but Beloit is clearly the farm team for a better club, and we're all confused. How are we sure those aren't actually the Rays' or Cardinals' prospects?
I think they just lost, like, 9 in a row recently to remind us that it is still a Twin's farmclub.
Joe Benson sounds like he has a good head for baseball. With him hitting well now, If Kubel goes on the DL and Revere gets called up, Benson could finally get to AAA.
Whoops. That was supposed to have this link.
