Hughes the Force, Luke
Out of options next season, infielder Luke Hughes has certainly made the most of his late season audition so far.
Never considered a blue chip prospect in the minors, Hughes garnered attention in 2008 when he had what some viewed as his Great Leap Forward – hitting .309/.369/.524 with 18 home runs split between New Britain and Rochester. That fanfare would not last long as he...

Storylines After 11 Spring Games: Injuries, Rumors and Luke Hughes
On the heels of a loss at the hands of a split-squad Baltimore Orioles team, the Minnesota Twins sit in the middle of the Grapefruit League pack at 6-5. Of course spring training records mean even less than spring training stats but nevertheless I still am encouraged by their record thus far.

2010 Twins Debuts: Luke Hughes
The Super Bowl is finally over and the NFL season has thankfully come to a close. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy watching football – college or NFL – but I am a much bigger fan of the regular season in both than I am the playoffs or the bowl/BCS (bunch-of-crap system).
Last week I covered Drew Butera who made his major league debut on April 9th, 2010. The 2nd Minnesota...
