Poor Reeser
All I can picture is Fee dropping pennies on the floor in front of Reese's locker...making sure they are all heads up.

Introduction: 2009 Twins' Prospectus
This is my first attempt at a season prospectus for the Minnesota Twins, so work with me a little as we work some kinks out and get some Twins’ chatter going.
2008 will be known as the “Coin Toss” season or the year that just came up short. But it was a terrific season, full of positives. Like watching younger players (Gomez, Casilla, & Span) find their legs in the bigs and key returnees (Morneau & Mauer) finding their MVP form again. It also had it’s own share of disappointment. Michael Cuddyer & new guy Matt Tolbert being hurt most of the year stung after watching both sprint out to a fantastic start to the season. Having to watch Nick Punto rename the Mendoza Line the Punto Line was a horrifying experience. Middle relief needed some relief as Matt “B.P.” Guerrier & Jesse Crain”wreck” dazzled us with their ability to give up 7 runs on 1 pitch. How these guys did not team up for a 1000.35 ERA is beyond me. I cringed every time they came into the game. I swear that Guerrier has something on Gardy to keep him on the roster. But there seems to be some help on the way for the pen, but we’ll get to that later.
