So what’s new in Minnesota? Let’s see:

• Kyle Farmer (File Karma) is back up after taking a Lucas Giolito-delivered baseball to the jaw.
• Jose Miranda (not as good a spoonerism) has been optioned to St. Paul. Hopefully that gets him out of his early-season skid and he’ll be back up and hitting again before long.

...that’s it, that’s the extent of what I know is new in Minnesota. I don’t live there.

What’s old in Minnesota?

• Starting pitching still top-tier.
• Hitting still bottom-tier.
• Fielding... who knows what’s up with the fielding.
• Still not trying to steal bases.

How about all of you? Presumably most of the Twinkie Town readership either lives or has lived in Minnesota; I’ve only spent 10-ish days there. What’s new in the state?

Please answer below in the comments. We can talk about baseball later.

...what’s that? This is a baseball blog?

Fine. Let’s Twins.
