NFL “Expert” Picks – Week 10

also available at www.SethSpeaks.net -

Quick Update today before getting to the Week 10 FB Picks.  It’s been another long week! I was out of town from Monday morning through Thursday morning. If you haven’t yet checked out Tuesday night’s podcast, please do by clicking here. I thought was another good show thanks to Jeff Dooley and Phil Miller.

  

·         Congratulations to Joe Mauer who won his first career Gold Glove Award yesterday. The Twins catcher is obviously very deserving. In fact, he probably should have a few of those already. Carlos Gomez should have won one too, but instead Torii Hunter did. Of course, this is ridiculous, but I stopped getting too upset about Gold Glove winners awhile back because their entire voting system is more than ridiculous.

·         Cmathewson posted his Twins Top 40 prospect list and it is generating a lot of great comments. Be sure to check it out.

·         Also, the Twins Prospect voting continues at Twinkie Town. We are currently voting for prospects 40-42 and determining who will be next.

·         Aaron Gleeman has posted a tremendous two-part series on the Twins minor leaguers, first the hitters, then the pitchers. It discusses the Twins prospects relative to the league that they play in, their age and a couple of other factors. It is very interesting!

·         Josh Johnson takes a look at Kevin Kouzmanoff, a player I have just about zero interest in the Twins trying to deal for.

·         According to Baseball America, the Twins have re-signed lefty reliever Ben Julianel. They released Wilmer Guanchez, Lee Martin, Khol Nanney, Michael Mopas and Eric Santiago. The week before, they had released Jakub Hajtmar.

Arizona Fall League Update

·         On Wednesday, the Phoenix Desert Dogs lost to Mesa 11-5. Danny Valencia batted fifth and played 3B. He had a double in four at bats. Dustin Martin played LF and batted sixth. He went 1-2 with two walks.

·         On Thursday, Phoenix and Mesa played again, and this time Phoenix won 4-2.. After striking out in his first three at bats, Steve Tolleson hit a two run triple to give the Desert Dogs a 3-2 lead in the 8^th inning. Danny Valencia went 2-4. Dustin Martin was 0-3 with a walk. Rob Delaney struck out two in a perfect 8^th inning.  

·         Jeff Manship did update his AFL blog.
