Neal III / StarTribune.com – 4/16/13 Righthander Kevin Correia signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Twins in December, and the move was met by many with a collective “meh.” He doesn’t miss bats. He has a losing career record. And he just wasn’t one of the sexy names out on the free-agent market during the offseason. But three starts into his first season with the Twins, and in the American League, he has been the most reliable player on the roster. He led the Twins to a 8-2 victory over the Angels on Monday to open a three-game series at Target Field. He shook off solo home runs by Peter Bourjos and Brendan Harris and handled the more dangerous names in the Los Angeles lineup to help end the Twins five-game losing streak. ~ 1 ~ Bourjos, whose first career homer was against the Twins in 2010, started things off by hitting a 2-2 pitch from Correia 413 feet to left to open the scoring. It could have been the start of short night at the park. “Who you got next? You’ve got [Mike] Trout, you’ve got [Albert] Pujols, you’ve got [Josh] Hamilton,” Correia said. “It’s not a good time to start feeling sorry for yourself with those guys coming up. You’ve really got to refocus and try to leave it at that one run.” Correia went through Trout, Pujols and Hamilton to get out of the first. By the time he left after seven innings, he had held the Angels to two runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five. He has pitched at least seven innings in all three of his starts. “Kevin threw the heck out the ball, again,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “Got us deep in the game.” The Twins came back with a run in the first after Bourjos’ home run. After Harris went deep in the third, the Twins came back with a run in the bottom of that inning two. Correia stayed out of trouble and the Twins kept pouring it on. Trevor Plouffe lined a home run to left on the first pitch his saw in the fourth inning. Joe Mauer — who was 4-for-4 on the night — cranked a 1-0 pitch from Angels starter Jeff Blanton over the left field wall in the fifth, giving the Twins a 4-2 lead. And, while facing lefthanded reliever Michael Roth in the sixth, Mauer grounded an RBI single to right to put the Twins ahead 5-2. Correia avoided trouble with one out in the seventh when outfielder Oswaldo Arcia, making his major league debut, dropped a fly ball for an error. Correia struck out Luis Jimenez then struck out Bourjos to end the inning. Fans jumped to the feet as Correia walked to the dugout, bumping fists with teammates. Correia sounded as he likes life in the American League. He had three starts of seven innings all of last year while with Pittsburgh. “I think it’s an opportunity in the American League, where you can go out there and see how long you can pitch,” Correia said. “In the National League, I might have been out of the game a lot earlier in all three starts for pinch-hit purposes. It’s nice to be able to go out there and get seven.” Arcia sent down after making big-league debut La Velle E. Neal III / StarTribune.com – 4/15/13 Oswaldo Arcia’s haul from his first day in the majors: The ball from his first major league hit — and a plane ticket back to Class AAA Rochester. Arcia, one of the Twins’ top prospects, went 1-for-3 at the plate and 0-for-1 in the field during the Twins’ 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. The Twins talked excitedly about getting a look at the attack-minded hitter as he replaced Wilkin Ramirez, who was away on paternity leave. General Manager Terry Ryan, before the game, hinted that Arcia could stay longer than three days. But that was not the case, as Ramirez will return to the team Tuesday after being present for the birth of his daughter, Venice, in New York. “Wilkin will be back [Tuesday] so we sent the kid back down, as hard as it will be for everybody involved,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “It’s fun to watch him walk up to the plate. He will get plenty of opportunities if he keeps doing what he’s doing in the minors.” Arcia took a break from packing to speak with reporters with the help of translator Bobby Cuellar. “I take away how they play the game here, watching people hit, watching people take pitches, how people look for their pitches and how good it feels and how good it looks, watching a game in the major leagues,” Arcia said. The Twins didn’t mince words when talking about Arcia before the game. “I love the way he swings the bat,” Gardenhire said. “He’s on a mission with a bat in his hand and he just doesn’t believe anyone can get him out.” ~ 2 ~ Arcia certainly showed that in his first major league at-bat, when he laced a fastball from Joe Blanton into right for single. He advanced to second on an error by right fielder Josh Hamilton. But he let a fly ball pop out of his glove in the seventh inning for a two-base error. He was scheduled to be the designated hitter on Monday but was moved to left field when Josh Willingham showed up at the park under the weather. When asked what happened on the fly ball, Arcia grinned sheepishly and said in clear English, “I don’t know.” Arcia is batting .414 with three homers, eight RBI and eight runs in nine games at Rochester. He is a career .316 hitter in the minors. Etc. • Aaron Hicks was replaced by Darin Mastroianni in center field on Monday but entered the game as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning, walked, stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a single. Hicks is expected to be in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Gardenhire said hitting coach Tom Brunansky wants to work with the struggling rookie leadoff hitter, but Hicks might be moved elsewhere in the lineup at times. • It was Jackie Robinson Day across baseball Monday, meaning every player in the majors wore the No. 42, but Gardenhire used Sunday to head to a local movie theater and watch “42,” the movie about Robinson’s path to the major leagues. Gardenhire said the audience applauded at the end of the movie. • Righthander Tim Wood (shoulder) will begin a rehabilitation assignment Tuesday at Class A Fort Myers. If all goes well, he likely will move to Class AAA Rochester. • Righthander Cole De Vries (forearm) played catch Monday and it went well. • Righthander Samuel Deduno (groin muscle) will pitch in an extended spring training game Tuesday. Three Twins postgame thoughts from LEN3: Correia, Hicks, Arcia and BONUS Mauer La Velle E. Neal III / StarTribune.com – 4/15/13 Here are three things on my mind following the Twins' 8-2 victory over the Los Angels Pujols of Troutheim: 1. CORREIA CRUISING: The Twins believe that Kevin Correia can give them 180 solid innings this year and, hopefully, next year. At $5 million a season, they view that as a bargain.

  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.

  • Jackie Robinson's Original 1945 Montreal Royals and Original 1947
    OLLECTORS CAFE PRESENTS Jackie Robinson’s Original 1945 Montreal Royals and Original 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers Contracts Founding Documents of the Civil Rights Movement OLLECTORS CAFE The Global, Lifestyle, Collectibles Brand is Coming! The Collectibles and Memorabilia industry is a $250+ billion dollar per year global market that is substantially fragmented with no one entity owning more than one half of one percent of market share. Further, there is NO MEETING PLACE for collectors to gather with other like minded collectors socially, and display their passion for their own collections. Lastly, there is no place to purchase all categories of collectibles, under one trusted umbrella, in a safe, AUTHENTICITY INSURED, environment. This is all about to change with the launch of the Collectors Cafe Company, where “PRE-APPRAISED, “PRE-AUTHENTICATED” and “PRE-INSURED” collectibles will be coming soon. Through the invention of AUTHENTICITY INSURANCE by company founder Mykalai Kontilai, Collectors Cafe has successfully executed agreements with some of the largest insurance companies who will underwrite all collectibles offered on the website. Lloyds of London (Hiscox), AIG, Liberty Mutual, Chubb, C.V Starr, Navigators, and XL are all exclusive underwriters and partners. This amazing accomplishment, we believe, will spark a COLLECTIBLES REVOLUTION, which will begin to consolidate the industry through the first online and global “One-Stop Shop” for buying, selling, and social networking for the entire collectibles market place. Driving the brand will be a plethora of multi-media assets, including but not limited to, the Collectors Cafe TV Series, The Collectors Cafe Blogger Network, The Collectors Tube Digital Content Platform, The Collectors Cafe Celebrity Collector Portal, The Collectors Cafe Master Dealer Network, and the Collectors Cafe IP Portfolio.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

    Weequahic’s MARQUIS “BO” PORTER, 1990, named new manager of the Houston Astros Major League baseball team By Brian McTaggert, MLB.com With the Houston Astros about to embark on a new era that will include a move to the American League, a new color scheme and new uniforms next season, the team on September 27th revealed the man it wants to lead the players into the new frontier. The Astros named Bo Porter to become their 17th manager at a news conference at Minute Maid Park. The 40-year-old Porter, a resident of Houston, was the 3rd base coach for the Nationals in 2012. The chance to manage the Astros is a dream come true for Porter, whose wife, Stacie, grew up in Houston. The family has lived in the area for many years, and Jim Crane, Houston’s President, said he got several recommendations from Houston-area baseball people. “I'm completely honored,” Porter said in a conference call. “It starts at the top with Jim Crane. He's putting together a great leadership team, and I'm honored to be part of that leadership team.
