Morneau


Twins non-tender Tyner

Goodbye, Jason Tyner. The Minnesota Twins reserve outfielder was not tendered a contract for 2008, making him a free agent.

Tyner batted .286 last year in 114 games, and he was capable of playing each of the three outfield positions. But the Twins' outfield is clogged. Craig Monroe, Jason Kubel, Michael Cuddyer, Delmon Young, and possibly Jason Pridie are ahead of Tyner.

Kubel was offered a contract and is eligible for arbitration.


Trading Twins


Twins deja vu

In today's Star Tribune, Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter talked about feeling a little like he did in 2003 yesterday, after a four-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics.


Santana, Morneau, Hunter: Their lines from All-Star game

Here are the lines for the Minnesota Twins who played in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game: 


Morneau is on a tear

Can I just say that Justin Morneau is on a tear right now?

Not tonight ... yet.


Happy opening day!

I love hotdogs in the morning.


Lock 'em up

Lock 'em up. That's whatcha gotta do.


My guy, Morneau, wins

My guy, Justin Morneau, just won the MVP award. Love it! He's the best since Kent Hrbek.

And my favorite players, David Ortiz (third place) and Johan Santana (seventh place), also got consideration for the award. Ortiz, though, didn't get a first-place vote -- those went to Derek Jeter (boo!!!), Morneau, and Santana.


David Ortiz for MVP

Did you see that home run tonight?!?

That's why we shouldn't have given the big boy away. David Ortiz, my favorite player on a team that isn't a favorite of mine, is a heck of an MVP candidate.


Batting race: Morneau vs. Mauer?

Is the race for American League batting championship going to come down to Joe Mauer versus Justin Morneau?

Ha! Ha! Ha! you might think to yourself, but it could happen.

Morneau's batting average is rising like the water in Sand Creek in April, and opposing pitchers like the gutless Oaklanders continue to walk Mauer like a dog on a leash in Lagoon Park.
