Twins Get a Clue

It only took them six plus weeks but they finally got a clue. The Minnesota Twins will be calling up Kevin Slowey to start on Friday in place of Ramon Ortiz. If you recall back to before the season started, I was livid that they weren't giving the young guys a shot -- most notably Matt Garza who I still have stashed in my minors in the Official MLB Front Office Dynasty League. And If you've been reading my weekly article over at Big Dawg Baseball (This weeks article is up now as it is every tuesday -- I cover the AL Central), you will know that I originally predicted Kevin Slowey to be the first called up. Instead, they called up Baker but now both of them are up anyway. If either stumbles, Garza will get the next call. Slowey's stats are impressive in AAA and we're talking VERY impressive, Phil Hughes IMPRESSIVE! Now, this kid isn't Phil Hughes but he's still worth an add in almost all types of leagues.

On another note, I live near Chicago and thus will be lucky enough to go to the White Sox game on Monday. I hate the White Sox so, why am I lucky? It will be Roger Clemens first start of the season. I'll be there in person and you'll reap the benefits. I should have an article up on Monday or Teusday about my first hand impression.
