A draft version of this was accidentally posted yesterday. Sorry about that. This is the real version.
Busts!
Your snark is obvious, but I'm kind of depressed that they haven't started dominating out of the gate this year. It feels like Twins fans deserve something like that to happen.
Maybe this will make it less painful when they get injured?
The other prospects standing out - particular the starting pitchers - has helped ease this pain for me.
A. Hicks has a robust line too. Only 56 PAs but the .865 OPS matches his .871 OPS in AA last year.
