Make sure you see Sam Fuld's catch from earlier today. Here's a still: http://tampabay.sbnation.com/2011/4/9/2 ... rays-close

Caught that live while idly checking out the game on WGN. Ended up yelping. He was playing Pierre the other way, shallow. OE: Video aqui.

Holy mack. Wow.

How do you like the picnicker in the White Sox jersey yelling at him. Phil Humber with his third career victory in that game.

Humber's stuff was nasty-looking for the two innings I caught; swing-and miss up the wazoo, and two Ks on 12-6 curves that ended up in the dirt.

- Sam Fuld sounds like a guy who played like 70 years ago - Fat White Sox guy: "You lucky sunnafabitch" - That 12-6 curve was supposed to be Humber's meal ticket coming out of college. Maybe he's not too old yet to still carve out a decent career for himself.

Would be a bit funny if the only tangible thing the Twins got from the Johan trade was a solid, cheap starter on the White Sox.

Nice catch! Sam Fuld is a great story - playing professional baseball despite being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 10. By all accounts he's a good guy - it's nice to see that he's doing well.

Ha, that's great. Guy catches a foul ball...while holding a baby. [url]http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=13641125&topic_id=8879838&c_id=mlb

Delois Guerrera is still in AA for them...and I think they have a couple of marginal prospects after trading JJ Hardy who they traded Gomez for. But that's it.

But the K numbers keep dropping while the walk rate/hit rate climb. Hoey from the Hardy trade made the Twins roster this year as a reliever, I think.
