we have discussed this before and, i think, we're all on the same page that the twins need some 'fuck you' in their organization. i would like to assume MEJOR was upset about something for this kind of reaction, but whatever. he's still awesome and as long as this benching doesn't serve as some sort of catalyst for friction between player and organization, i don't really care.

i get we don't need our most visible prospects to be complete cunts, but you can't be that good at something without some swagger.

oh, and ditto about not wanting him getting plunked or thrown at ... but he is 7'3" 465 pounds ... so, good luck with that 21 year old pitchers.
