Congrats to one of the best third basemen in Minnesota Twins history. We miss you so much. It’s been essentially a revolving door at third base since you’ve left. Only Danny Valencia and Trevor Plouffe have started consecutive opening days at the hot corner since your departure.
Tony Batista and Mike Lamb thank you for letting them give this whole baseball thing a shot.
