I think as soon as Rodney falters (which will probably be early), Reed will assume the closer role. I really think the bullpen will be decent this season with the chance of having some midseason call ups bolster it too. Would love to see Tyler Jay up this year

Damn, wasn't expecting that at all, but I love it

Nice signing by the Twin's IMO. Good bullpen arm.

Morneau is about to announce he is retiring. Sad day as I really wished he could have come back to the Twins for a final season.
He will however be signing on with the Twins as a special advisor. What do you guys think his role on the team will be?

Probably same as Hunter, Cuddyer, Hawkins role as special advisors. I’m sure he’ll give input on guys he’s played with and do some very minor scouting and promotional work like Twinsfest

Well that’s a little disheartening. I was hoping maybe he would work his way into a batting coach or something along those lines.

Reed signing is official, Boshers has been DFAed to make space

Johan being inducted into the Twin's HOF puts a smile on my face!
Any of you guys got some cards of his you might be willing to part with? |

Good timing. There's a disturbing lack of Santana cards in my collection so I picked one up and it came in the mail today!:

Have fun at Twinsfest, everyone! Really wish I could have made it. Looking forward to seeing some write ups

If anybody gets Rooker at Fanfest and is willing to part with what they have him sign, please let me know. He's my main PC guy and I unfortunately live far from Minneapolis.

This year's TwinsFest was absolutely insane. When you have 250+ people deep for Kepler, you know it's ridiculous. Very unorganized and not thought out this season. You have 2-3 of the top guys signing in one session which makes people start lining up as soon as possible which makes for insane lines. Luckily I got 90% of the people I wanted (didn't get Kiriloff/Rooker) so I'm not too upset about it but it wasn't the best TwinsFest organizational wise. Ive went for 7 years straight but I hope it gets moved to US Bank next year (I'll attend either way).

If you’d like, I could probably get some stuff down in Fort Myers. Also have a social media connection that could make something happen depending on what you’re looking for?

He's free tomorrow and at the same time as Lewis so I'm hoping I will be able to go through his line a few times. I was able to last year with minor league guys but not as big names.

If you're able to get a baseball card or two signed by them, I'd be interested

I didn't make it this year, but member clarkzac was kind enough to have this locker tag signed for me.

Interested in just about anything to be honest, as my collection is not that large right now. All my items in my collection are signed in sharpie so I'd like to keep that uniform. In terms of getting cards signed I like anything that's a licensed product. In terms of other stuff, just about anything is cool for me, whether it be a ball, 8x10, or other piece of memorabilia. Always looking for game-used items.

Man, that would be amazing. I'm looking for just about anything to be honest. All my items are signed in sharpie, so I'd like to keep that consistent. In terms of cards, I like anything licensed. In terms of other items, I'd really like a ball or 8x10, unless you found something game-used, or really quirky that screams, "A super-collector would want that." Thank you so much for your consideration. I wish he played closer to here so I could get him myself, but I won't be seeing him unless he makes The Show.

I ended up getting 28 autographs today. 25 were from prospects in the free lines including 6 8x10s, 2 baseballs (Rooker), 10 cards, 5 autograph cards, and 2 pocket schedules. Then I got Mauer on a jersey from the Twins Wives booth and Buxton on a ball from there. It's a free auto with a $25+ purchase which for some guys is cheaper than their normal sessions. For Buxton, I spent $15 on a game used/BP used ball and got a $10 journal. For Mauer I decided to spend an extra $5 to get 2 baseballs. I found some in good enough condition that I did/will use them for autographs of guys that I don't want to buy a ROMLB for. Since they are the official balls they hold autographs well, just they are either scuffed up or a bit off color. For anyone who goes next year I suggest checking out the autograph sessions there. They each last 20 minutes and generally have long lines but the lines fly by. I showed up to both late and still got autographs.
My last auto was quite unique - a Trevor Hildenberger autographed bingo card. I was done getting autographs and decided to sit down and play Bingo. They didn't give out prizes but instead had the player doing it sign the bottom of your card. So I guess that's one of the more interesting items I've ever gotten.

What is the card show like at Twinsfest these days? I haven't been in a long time but I want to go back at some point.

The only ones I bought from were the only one that sold packs, one that had cards of nearly everyone signing at twinsfest, one that had cheap ROMLBs (cheaper than anywhere online when you count shipping), and one that had a good mix of stuff where I got a program from last Sunday's game. Other than that, nothing seemed worth it. But I guess I'm to young to have gone to shows so I'm more inclined to buy stuff off of ebay/COMC. The yard sale and game used shop also have some pretty good prices but everything was picked through. Potentially good if you are looking for a guy who isn't too popular but if you're looking for something nice it was probably taken early.
