Twinkie Town, a Minnesota Twins community

LenIII says it's a done deal. Pretty good in my eyes, especially if it means less chance of Butera sticking around. Although it might just be dooming us to two more years of carrying three catchers.

This is taken from an article over at MLB.com. Nishioka is currently on a 13 game hitting-streak. Awesome, you say? Not for Nishioka. He is clearly not impressed:: "If I continue to get one hit per game, then I'll only have 162 hits," Nishioka said through translator Ryo Shinkawa. "So I'll try to get more."

I haven't seen a lot of background on Nishioka so I went to Ol' Unreliable to see what it had to say. The two things that popped out to me was how young he was when he made the club and more worrisome, all the mentions of injuries over the years.

I am stealing this from Beyond-The-Boxscore who point to the first over/under on MLB wins. Twins are their favorite in the AL Central, get 87, Whitesox one ahead of Detroit with 84.5.
