It's just a shame that this guy keeps getting hurt.
His overall stats are still amazing, and he is still a great player, but can you imagine what this guy would've been like if he hadn't been so injured the last 6 years?!?!?

With the great news the EC fired off yesterday concerning DC and his staff and the signing of Brocko, I'm sure the YC will not have to follow the path of the *other* home town team.
It is a shame that it has gotten to this. Time to get back to the basics, hit your cut-off men, and watch your base coaches. Lew Ford, your time has come, too many mistakes for a guy who is supposed to be so smart.

Hags - Promoted
From Coach Carney:
I understand that some say you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with - with that in mind It is my great pleasure to announce that Mark "Hags" Jeglosky has been offered the role of Assistant Head Coach and he has accepted, a role very similar to that of Mike Tice. Mark brings a strong voice and a strong presence which I feel I may lack sometimes - a no non-sense approach, he has the innate ability to deciphyr a situation and get down to the core. I feel much assured knowing that Hags will be a major player. I feel very confident moving forward knowing if I do something that may not be in the best interest of the YC Hags will let me know or handle the situation.
Mark had this to say "I am very pleased with what I have seen in my first season as a YC. I feel very priviledged that the organization has recognized my efforts and skills and that those same efforts and skills being rewarded with a promotion. I will not abuse this and will make decisions based on the best interest of the YC"

Brocko Signs 30 Year Contract!
Coach Carney wasted no time in making his first "official" move as head of Softball Operations with the Crow Franchise. This is how Coach Carney operates, quickly and efficiently.
The Young Crows, and the Crows franchise would like to welcome David "Brocko" Brockman, to a 30 year contract, effective immediately.
As the contract states,
"I, David “Brocko” Brockman, accept the role as player, and whatever else Coach Carney deems me to do, with the Young Crows of the Crows franchise, for the next 30 years. I agree to give up any and all of my offspring (those that I am aware of, and those that I am not yet aware of) to the 3rd and 4th generation Crows. This includes summer ball, fall ball, and winter ball, if Coach Carney sees it necessary for me to work on my game over the winter. It also includes one Zimmerman tournament (or tourney of Coach Carneys preference) per year.
I also agree to sing one song everytime the Crows are out, and there is an open Karoke machine."
the Crow Organization could not be more excited in the signing of this highly touted free agent.
Brocko's official response:
"I, therefore, the Representative of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge (EC) of the Crows for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of the Crow Nation, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Crows are, and of Right ought to become one, and that I am Absolved from all Allegiance to any former softball clubs, and that all political connection between them and the Crow Nation, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Crow, I have full Power to Run, Catch, Hit, and establish a work ethic unto no other, and to do all other Acts and Things which Coach Carney may behest upon me. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, I mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor, for we are Crows, isn’t that enough? --Brocko"

Gardy must go
http://www.startribune.com/twins/story/1428719.html
Alright, this fascination with Nick Punto is getting borderline absurd.
How can Gardy hand the job to Punto when he has been absolute garbage all year long?!?!?
He is going to struggle to finish the year at .200, yet we are giving him the starting 2nd base job next year?!?! 2008 is going to be a lot like 2007...:(

More troubled times ahead
http://www.startribune.com/twins/story/1426351.html
Let's forget the fact that this team just took it up the tailpipe against the Tigers.
Let's forget the fact the Yo-han has looked pretty ordinary the last couple months (which actually could help the Twins if we do resign).
This story here should really concern us.
When a guy like Morneau, who from all accounts could care less about when and where he is playing ball, starts questioning whether or not he should stay, it's time for panic. This is the single most important offseason in Twins history. Good luck Mr. Smith.
