Here is a pointless stat comp brought to you by Aaron Gleeman today.

Joe Mauer through age 31: .321 AVG, .402 OBP, .463 SLG, .865 OPS
Derek Jeter through age 31: .314 AVG, .386 OBP, .461 SLG, .847 OPS

Are the Twins teaching Hughes any secondary pitches? I know that throwing 95% fastball is enough to stop the Yankees, but surely his luck will run out vs the rest of the majors without a useful offspeed pitch. His curve looked as lovely as ever and I read in ST that the twins ditched his slider.

I always thought Hughes should learn the split finger since it is basically the perfect pitch for him (change up esque, plays off fastball, allows him to keep attacking with his FB to setup the split, not wildly used so has some secrecy vs hitters).

I am shocked that Hughes is doing as well as he is this season. I keep telling myself it's only a matter of time until he regresses back into himself, but ~who knows~

TC Bear first overall pick because DINGERS

Also I once watched him turn a double play in a 1860's-style snow baseball game and it was the loving greatest.

From today's Twins broadcast of the Twins/Astros game

"I believe he'll make short work of Singleton"

*Singleton demolishes the ball for a grand slam*

The Twins are sending Pino back to AAA and calling up Jorge Polanco (SS/2B) from single A to take his roster spot

I know literally nothing about him so here's a link from a couple months ago to a blog I follow for prospect information http://www.minorleagueball.com/2014/4/21/5630118/prospect-of-the-day-jorge-polanco-inf-minnesota-twins

Yeah, when I saw this move...no loving clue. Really bizzare.

E: Maybe this means they are going to send Florimon down and call up May or Meyers? Even with that...really weird thing to do.
