MIN—They still need more depth on the INF, and they don’t do anything very well—but they do everything just good enough. They are right in the middle of the pack in every offensive and pitching category (save Steals where they have a pathetic 3) and they find themselves in 3rd, only 4 GB. They send Mike Bruhert (2nd on the team with 5 wins, but a .323 OAVE) and Forrest Thompson to settle down at AAA, along with INF Rico Rossy. Pat Darcy and Frank Eufemia are somewhat questionable recommendations by Scout Luke Sims, but GM Eric Strauss does not hesitate to dip into his minor league system. Tony LaRussa also is recalled, a testament to the lack of INF depth at the big club and AAA level.

Darcy joins the back end of the rotation, but everything else stays the same. They have had a stability in the staff that most other teams wish they had. Nothing much else changes. 1B Paul Campbell will probably be moved soon for someone to give the INF some stability, and C Matt Merullo could also be shipped someplace for more pitching, but for now, I like the position the Hits are in.
