Twins on the Grid today and without being too obvious about it, a current platoon situation is there for the taking.

I was able to achieve rarified air today-9 for 9 on unique players. My recent deep dives in the SABR project write ups really paid off (Fenwick is an interesting one-second MLB’er of Japanese heritage who played baseball at the “U” and made his home in northern MN where he was a county...

In 1961, Frank Funk won 11 games, lost 11 games and earned 11 saves for the Cleveland Indians.

In my league, the QB earns 6 points for TD passes/rushing and the format has an additional offensive player in addition to the standard 2 QB's, 2 RB's & WR's, 1 TE. So, it makes all the sense in the world to grab 2 strong QB's, which in our league means there should be 20 QB's starting each...

Just took a peek at Milan's career-in addition to what you pointed out, also hits on the .300+ category and +30 SB's (which I feel like I've exhausted with the MN Twins contingent). Cheers!

I had already used Cabrera, so I thought I could skate in with a low score using Bruno, but it arrived at 10%! With the likes of Sonny Gray, Gaetti, Jim Kaat, Tom Herr, I thought I'd get a much lower score, but alas, it wasn't to be. I did slot Mick Abel into that Twins/Phillies square for a...

Was able to have back to back Black Sox grids with the utilization of Shoeless Joe Jackson-maybe Buck Weaver or Chick Gandil will be available for today’s board. It’s got me hankering for a rewatch of Eight Men Out. Also of note, Atwater’s Mike Kingery was my .300/CF square for a really low...

Can’t really fathom looking down the bench for a pinch hitter and calling upon Mickey Gasper, but what do I know?

He's no Pierson Ohl though.

He is literally the only decent Rockies pitcher I can think of--the other guy that pops to mind is Aaron Cook, who I remembered as an All-Star, but he never came close to an ERA under 3.00. I checked on the likes of Denny Neagle and Bret Saberhagen also, and uhh, let's say Rockies Stadium was...

Ubaldo Jiminez was my only chance; reviewing the names afterwards, old friend Pat Neshek made the list. Was able to put the Black Sox to use today, with Eddie Cicotte in the 200+ wins/<3.00 category.

You and I shared the Benito square; I'm not the riverboat gambler you are though, I verified before placing him in the square. I also mined a SF pitcher for the Silver Slugger category-Don Robinson, who hit the double double of rarity and unique player for me. And a tip of the hat for your...

In case you were wondering why you should still pay attention to the Twins, history is being chased by Matt Wallner. Having reached 20 HR’s, he is currently the player with the least amount of RBI’s having reached that mark. Who’s he chasing/avoiding? Joey Gallo, who just two short years ago...

Well, might as well tank now, if they haven't been strategizing already to do so. Currently with the sixth worst win percentage in baseball, but percentage points behind the Braves and Pirates; probably too aspirational to get into the top 3 (Nats are at .399), but never say never!

A little Twins trivia to lighten the darkness…in 1981, the Twins had three players receive votes in the Rookie of the Year balloting, two of whom became future All-Stars. Name those players.
