Minnesota Twins - (MLB 10 The Show)

[sdjbiman]

Sliders: Perfect (Not sure who made them)
Rosters: OS Full Minors (Beginning of the year)
Hitting Difficulty: All-Star (This may change)
Pitching Difficulty: Veteran (This may change)

I will be playing through the 2010 season and beyond with the Minnesota Twins at the beginning of the season using the sliders and rosters listed above. I will have individual boxscores for each game, but they will come 5 games at a time. I plan to play most of the games, but may simulate now and then. Updates will come every month with full league outlook and team statistics. The boxscores will be very simple and not go into in depth statistics. If I make the playoffs I will emphasize these more.

Twins Start Off Season Hot

-Alex Kungarush

The Twins started off the 2010 season with a sweep of the Angels, but fell in their latest contest. Despite that loss, the pitchers have been pitching very well. They hope to continue that hot streak, and Joe Nathan has been able to rack up two saves so far.

Who's Hot?
Orlando Hudson, 2B - .524 AVG, 3 Doubles, 1 HR, and 3 RBI.
Orlando has been a steadying force at 2nd base. He has hit great, and hit well in clutch spots. While it's unrealistic for him to keep up this pace, he hopes to continue it up for a while.

Who's Not?
Jason Kubel, DH/RF - .150 AVG, 1 Double, 1 HR, 2 RBI.
Jason was supposed to be here to continue off his very good season last year in which he hit .300 and belted 28 HR's. He has been off to a very slow start only hitting .150. He hopes to turn it around soon, but it's very early. He will continue to get starts, but Jim Thome could spell him at the DH position if he continues to play this way.
