Carl Pohlad, of course, was the owner of the Twins for many years.
Only one hit for the Red Wings. Free baseball in New Britain. The Snappers had their hitting shoes on. A solid outing by Jason Wheeler.

We would also like to wish a very happy anniversary to Grandma and Grandpa S.
The batter of the year and pitcher of the year for this team are going to be pretty easy choices.
Another good night for Nishi. Kennys Vargas stays hot for the Snappers. Kuo Hua Lo works six shutout innings in the GCL. A Tony Pena, Jr. sighting!

Akili Smith, better known as an NFL quarterback, played for three seasons in the Pittsburgh organization, reaching AA.
It's got to be really hard to evaluate pitchers in short-season leagues.
When a player has an OPS of over a thousand for a hundred it bats, it's time to think about moving him up.
It's only 92 at-bats, but Kennys Vargas has put up incredible numbers so far.
I wonder why the Twins let Jairo Perez go in early July. Not that he was going to be a star, but he was one of the better players on the team, and he really wasn't blocking anybody.
