Links and Thinks

also available at www.SethSpeaks.net –

First of all, thank you to everyone who e-mailed me yesterday with your thoughts and suggestions. As you can see by looking around this page, I’ve already made a few alterations. I will make note of your ideas and over time, will certainly get to many of them. Also, thank you very much for all of your support. It means a lot that people understand what is going on. Just a lot of busy-ness.

One thing that people really made clear was that you liked when I link to other Twins blogs. I’m happy to do it because the Twins blogosphere is huge and there is a lot of talent that deserves an opportunity. Check out the sites below (as well as those on the left of this page) and if someone writes something you enjoy, be sure to bookmark them. If you have a Twins blog and it isn’t linked on the left, please e-mail me the link to your site and I will be sure to post it.

• As you saw yesterday, the Star Tribune came to the TwinsCentric group and asked us if we would be able to blog for their Twins page. We accepted the opportunity and yesterday, Nick Nelson posted our first article called Synergy.
• Last night, John Bonnes posted a blog there called Options.
• The day before, John had written on his Twins Geek blog about the team’s biggest rival… and it isn’t who you may think.
• Back to Nick, he posted his Top 10 Twins Prospects for 2010.

• Of course, you know Sooze from writing at Babes Love Baseball where she posted a Q&A with Pat Neshek earlier this week.
• Aaron Gleeman posted his choices for the Top 5 Twins Prospects.

• When the Twins traded Boof Bonser to the Red Sox, they received AA Relief Pitcher Chris Province who played in the Arizona Fall League, on the same team as the Twins prospects. Anyway, Province has started his own blog which is worth checking out.
• 108 Stitches talks about opening his first pack of 2010 Topps baseball cards. Specifically, he talks about a pretty cool Randy Johnson card. I wish I had more money and could get back into card collecting. What a fun hobby!!
