· The Twins had another day off on Wednesday which I’m sure they all could use. They will take on the Cincinnati Reds at 6:05 central time tonight.

· AAA Rochester played and lost 5-3 to the Reds AAA Affiliate. Anthony Slama gave up a two run homer in the 9^th inning. Brandon Roberts went 3-5. Justin Huber went 2-4. In a AA game yesterday, infielder Steve Singleton went 2-4 with two home runs.

· Be sure to read John Meyer’s player profile of Zoilo Versailles at BaseballDigest.com.

· Nick Nelson compares the recently-signed contract of White Sox pitcher Gavin Floyd to the contract signed by Scott Baker early this month.

· Over the Baggy asks, “Where does Nick Blackburn go from here?” To which former Twins pitcher does he compare by saying that both “demonstrated excellent control, worked ground ball content and chewed up innings?” I’m not just going to tell you. Read the article to find out.

· Seth wrote a Thank You blog to Corey Koskie at his Star-Tribune Your Voices blog.

· Pat Neshek shares a story about the first time that he was called from minor league camp to the big league camp for a spring training game. It is hilarious!

· Spring Training Stats mean nothing, right? Well, the Twins Geek takes a look at several spring stats that are probably worth at least noticing.

· Coffeyville Whirlwind takes us back in time, to that 1991 game in which Kent Hrbek and Ken “Hawk” Harrelson exchanged pleasantries. There’s always something going on with the Twins and White Sox!
