    This might hurt the Yanks a lil bit since he was a good hitter who could get himself to base quite a bit.

    Wow. I think my Twins are addicted to hitting like crack now. Which is great. We now have lik 4 DHs! Rondell White, Matt LeCroy, Ruben Sierra and another who I can't think of right now! Family Guy is too distracting!
