Instead, it will be because Plouffe invited four officers from the Watertown, Mass., police department to Thursday’s game, according to a team spokesman. The selfless gesture should certainly...

Twins 3B Trevor Plouffe hits homer, doesn’t realize it, starts trotting off field (video)
We’ve been a little Minnesota-heavy here at the Sportress this Friday morning — blame the Blatant Homerism — but even with that in mind, I am reluctant to pass on passing along the funny thing that happened during the Minnesota Twins-Cleveland Indians tilt at Progressive Field on Thursday afternoon in a get-away-day game. In the [...]
Plouffe reminds Twins of his positive qualities
Trevor Plouffe may still be a work in progress, but nights like the one he had Thursday in Minnesota's 4-3, 10-inning victory over the Kansas City Royals will keep the Twins interested.

Trevor Plouffe surges to top of Twins power chart
Trevor Plouffe hasn't hit a home run in two games.
That, in and of itself, is worth mentioning, which goes to show the kind of power binge the Minnesota Twins third baseman has been on lately. The first-round draft pick in 2004 is finally starting to validate the faith the Twins placed in him after an incredibly rocky start to his career, and this season.
