actually shocking...

Cuddyer was also named winner of the Bob Allison Award, given to the Twins player who exemplifies determination, hustle, tenacity, competitive spirit and leadership both on and off the field.

I thought this award was reserved for Nick Punto

Good question

Best player on the Twins or Brewers? Best player to grow up in Minnesota or the Dakotas?

That would be called the "Darin Erstad Memorial Trophey"

Did you know he was a punter in college?!

Good. He earned it.

Also nice to see Nathan, Cuddy and Span get recognized. I hope Mijares gets some glasses a la Rick Vaughn so he won’t try to take off opposing batters heads next year.
