Holy Twinstripes!

Do the Yankees have small-market envy?

Does Hank Steinbrenner have a father-figure crush on Carl Pohlad?

No and No?

Then how does one explain: LaTroy Hawkins? Sidney Ponson? Chad Moeller? and now Eric Milton?

And coaching in the minors: Butch Wynegar? Alvaro Espinosa? and Greg Colbrunn?

All of them, my friends, ex-Twins! And none of them ex-Twins knocking on the door of the Twins Hall of Fame, either.

(OK, maaaaaybe Wynegar)
