I know it's only 13 games but his line is: 354/456/375/831

Finish the year in NB and get him to Rochester sometime next season....

Great problem to have and one we haven't had in a LONG time.

Nice. My brother just texted me today about a possible bro Phoenix trip. Methinks I'll be making it an AFL trip.

Kind of surprised Sano's not on it, but he still could be added.

A few weeks ago, the Twins said they were looking at winter ball for him, but didn't think he'd be ready for the AFL. For whatever that's worth.

Berrios is a man-child. Again, it's just so damn impressive what he and Thorpe are doing at their ages.

And re-doing the math, it's actually more like 7 weeks from now that the AFL starts. Could be that they're holding off and that Sano will be the late addition there as "big news" right around the time the press is starting to talk about Gardy's contract. Twins are good at distraction techniques.

If he is in AZ, I may as well book my flight now. Anyone else thinking of going?

He is under off season contract to his winter team in the Dominican and I don't think he is allowed to play the AFL without their permission. They are highly unlikely to grant it because of his star power and the money he brings in.

The Twins have to approve him playing winter ball I believe, Sweens. He's already under contract for it?

As TR noted, his extension was for two years so he is signed for 2015. As such, do you really think the Twin Cities press will discuss Gardy's contract other than to occasionally wonder if the Pohlads will terminate the last year?

The press here doesn't ask any tough questions. No need to worry about distracting the press. The buffet table does a great job for that.
