Links of the Day for 4/28/06

According to Baseball Prospectus (scroll down past the Astros talk), the Twins need Castillo in order to compete, but the real reason we’re not winning is because of the starting pitching. Having Rondell White and his one extra base hit hitting fourth can’t help either.

You’ve been hearing a lot about the stadium. And you probably know it passed the house. However, looks like the Senate is throwing the Twins a curveball, so it might not be a bad time to contact your state Senator. Mbennett at TwinkieTown has provided us with a sample letter.

Twins took 2 of 3 from the Royals, with Michael Cuddyer leading the way in the last game with a three hits and a homerun. Cuddyer, Luis Rodriguez, and Mike Redmond, who all are, evidently, bench players, lead the team in OPS. Mauer sat out with the sore hamstring on Thursday according to the Recap’s notes, let’s hope he gets better.

Non Sequitur Moment: What ever happened to RossCW? Some people think he’s this guy. I wouldn’t put it past either of them. I always like those logic police posters on message boards, they help control the sabermetric/fanboi versus reasonable human being ratio.
