Patiently awaiting the future
The Twins have been much better than expected this season, yet some people still lament what has happened to the team.

Getting Closer
At 25-29 the Twins have sneaked their way into 3rd place in the Central. They currently stand at a full game ahead of the White Sox and 4 games behind the 2nd place Indians. I had predicted they would grab 3rd by the All-Star break, but now they're working ahead of that.

Aaron Hicks' defense continues to be ridiculous
I don't even know what to say about Minnesota Twins center fielder Aaron Hicks' defense anymore. The 23-year old rookie made another amazing catch on Wednesday night on a sinking liner hit by Rickie Weeks of the Brewers. Look at him just lay out and snag a single away from Weeks with the greatest of ease.
To top things off, Hicks came up in the top of the fifth inning...
