ESPN 1500 (Wetmore) p. 3 Making sense of the strangest four days in Minnesota sports. Minnesota Post (Borzi) p. 4 Minnesota Twins organization prospect discussion. SB Nation (Sickels) p. 6 Twins in AFL: Walker working on 'plate discipline' Jonathan Mayo| MLB.com | October 30, 2015 Certain numbers stand out when looking at Adam Brett Walker II's offensive production. On the positive side, of course, is the power and run production: Walker finished fourth in the Minor Leagues in 2015 with 31 home runs and third in RBIs with 106. The flip side of that coin is his strikeout total. Walker led the Minors with 195 K's in 502 Double-A Southern League at- bats. "I usually don't really look at my numbers, positive or negative," Walker said while playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League. "At the end of the year, I'll take a look at them and see where I was at. I just try to take it one day at a time. I'll have positive at-bats and whatever happens, happens." What has happened is that Walker has led his league in home runs every season of his pro career, starting with his pro debut after being taken in the third round of the 2012 Draft. He's hit 83 home runs in his three full seasons of pro ball, showing at each level that his power will play. The real question has always been about whether the corner outfielder would make enough contact to be a consistent run producer at the highest level. His strikeout totals have gone up in each of those three full seasons as well, something Walker is trying to address in the Fall League. "Always working in the box on plate discipline, that's a big key," Walker said. "I'm just working on getting pitches I can handle, laying off the bad ones." He's managed to do that over the first few weeks of the AFL. He's still struck out 12 times in 31 at-bats, but he's also drawn five walks, leading to a .355/.459/.677 slash line heading into Thursday's games. He stood sixth in OPS and slugging percentage and eighth in on-base percentage. Walker sees it as building off lessons learned in Chattanooga during the 2015 regular season. "I definitely feel like I'm moving in the right direction," said Walker, who added he's also working on his reads and routes in the outfield. "This past year went pretty well, but there's always work I need to put in. I'm going to keep trying to get that work in, getting more at-bats always helps. I'm just going to keep working so I can get to the big leagues." Watching his organization-mates get there certainly adds fuel to that fire. At various stages of his Minor League career, Walker has played alongside Byron Buxton, Eddie Rosario, Jorge Polanco, Danny Santana and Max Kepler, all of whom made varying degrees of contribution to the Twins' postseason push this season. "It definitely motivates me," Walker said. "I was able to play with a couple of those guys, and to see them in the big leagues, helping the ballclub out, they're in the playoff hunt, it looked exciting. I was able to talk to some guys, and they just talked about how much fun it is. It's definitely motivating. I just have to keep working so I can join them. "It's a great opportunity to be here. I'm honored they selected me to come out here and play. There's a lot of great competition. Hopefully, I end up moving up the ladder and can reach my goals." Twins hitters in the Fall League • Mitch Garver, C: When the Twins took Garver in the ninth round of the 2013 Draft, it was unclear whether he could stay behind the plate. One of the better college seniors from that class, he's shown he can, and the time in the AFL will help get him used to handling more advanced pitching while continuing to refine his advanced approach at the plate. • Stuart Turner, C: Turner is another backstop from that 2013 Draft, one of four the Twins took that June. He can flat-out defend, but will need to find a little more bat -- something he's undoubtedly working on in Arizona -- if he wants to be more than just a glove-first backup. Twins pitchers in the Fall League • Nick Burdi, RHP: Burdi was supposed to come to the AFL a year ago, but didn't. Now he's there working on becoming more pitcher than thrower. Burdi finished the year in Double-A well, after scuffling upon his promotion, and he's using his time in Scottsdale to continue to get used to his move to the third base side of the rubber, a big reason for his improvement. • Trevor Hildenberger, RHP: A 22nd round pick out of Cal in 2014, the 24-year-old reliever led the Twins in saves in 2015 with 17. But he's yet to pitch above A ball. Getting some AFL innings should help him prepare for the jump to the upper levels. • Jake Reed, RHP: The 2014 fifth-rounder took Burdi's spot in the AFL last year and threw well, but he struggled in Double-A in 2015. He righted the ship with a move down to Fort Myers, and he's hoping this return engagement gets him back on the right track. • Taylor Rogers, LHP: Rogers has been one of the most durable starters in the Twins' system, and he set a career high with 174 innings pitched during the 2015 regular season. He's fresh off five scoreless innings on Tuesday, with the AFL stint perhaps a springboard to a shot at the big league rotation. Saying farewell to 3 Twin Cities sports figures Star Tribune | November 1, 2015 Tom Izzo: Saunders was competitive but compassionate What I enjoyed most about him was the guy never changed. From his playing days, to days when he won 60-some games, and then getting released — I never saw him change. He was competitive but compassionate. And very innovative — innovative in his thinking. He wasn’t afraid to try things. The analytical things — which have become new and modern — Flip was talking about it six, seven years ago. Every new play he could come up with, he sold it. Every new gadget that came out, he bought it. I used to like the 2-in-the-morning calls when he was watching the QVC channel and ordering some new gadget. He’d call me and I’d be telling him how dumb he is and why is he spending his money on that. If I lost a big game, it seemed like he was always calling me then. I swear he’d order more things than anyone I knew. I’m going to miss those times. When there were rumors that he was looking at the Minnesota collegiate job and I said to myself, ‘Well, there goes Tyus Jones.’ We were recruiting him hard and I said, ‘If Flip gets the job, he’s going to clean up,’ just because of his personality and the passion he had for that city. He was very proud of Minneapolis — even though he was from Cleveland, Minneapolis was his home. — Izzo coaches Michigan State and was a longtime friend of Saunders. Krystal Kill and Tasha Hynes: Saturdays in fall will never be the same It was so hard to see our dad, the toughest man we know, make the hardest decision of his life. So hard to see him walk away from what he loves — not just the love of the game, but the love for all the people who surround him every day. 2 It was hard to watch him tell people he loves that he can no longer give them 110 percent. Hard because football has been our life. Hard because we don’t know what Saturdays are going to be like. Hard because we won’t hear “Jer-ry, Jer-ry, Jer-ry” as we leave the field. But football has blessed our family. It taught us to face challenges together and gave us strength. Most important, football gave us love. We watched Dad inspire millions of people. He became a father to players, helping them become undeniably great men. Along the way, he raised us and was a great husband. Mom and Dad have given us an incredible journey, and we cannot thank them enough. But now we get to begin a new one, and add another brick to an awesome foundation. Thank you to everyone for being there through these tough times. We will always have our Gopher family in our hearts. -- Krystal and Tasha are Jerry and Rebecca Kill’s daughters Eddie Guardado: Hunter a great player, great friend - and better man I don’t think I have enough words to describe what type of person Torii is. He never forgot where he came from — that’s an important thing — and anyone will tell you that. He treats everyone like human beings. He treats his family so well. That’s what I like about him, that he’s such a family man.

INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • Cincinnati Reds' Adam Duvall Singles and Drives in a Run During the Sixth Inning of the Team\'S
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings April 10, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1989-When Ken Griffey, Jr. debuts with Seattle, he and his father, Ken Griffey, Sr., become the first father-son duo to play in the major leagues at the same time MLB.COM Duvall leads way as Reds win series at Busch By Nate Latsch and Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | April 9th, 2017 + 438 COMMENTS ST. LOUIS -- The Reds have every reason to take a moment and savor the flavor of a rare series win at Busch Stadium. Sunday's 8- 0 victory over the Cardinals not only gave Cincinnati two of three games, but also just its fourth series win out of the last 29 at St. Louis since 2006. It was July 27-29, 2015, when the Reds last came to town and took a series from the Cardinals. Sunday's win was powered by Adam Duvall's 3-for-4, two-RBI game while starting pitcher Scott Feldman cruised with six-plus scoreless innings, allowing four hits with one walk and collecting six strikeouts for his first win with the Reds. More > "It's not facing demons and ghosts of series in years past. Our team is better than it's been in the last few years, with a lot of new guys that just want to come in and play baseball, play hard and play well," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "We pitched two shutouts here. Not only is that unlikely, but to come in here and be able to do and extract two wins is a big deal for us in the early start of a season." Coming off of 7 1/3 scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts on Opening Day vs.

  • 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).

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings October 23, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1949-The Reds name Luke Sewell as manager MLB.COM Inbox: Who is poised for breakout on Reds? Beat reporter Mark Sheldon answers questions from fans By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | October 20th, 2017 + 269 COMMENTS Which young pitcher do you think has the best chance to be a quality starter next season? -- Shawn R., Vancouver, Wash. Luis Castillo has every chance to have a breakout 2018 campaign. His 3-7 record in '17 is deceptive, as his other numbers show he was solid. He posted a 3.12 ERA in 15 starts (eight quality starts), with a 1.075 WHIP over 89 1/3 innings. This all came after being promoted to the big leagues from Double-A, skipping a Triple-A stint. Beyond the numbers, Castillo is 24 years old and already seems to have command of four pitches. The right-hander can regularly top 98-100 mph and then beat hitters with the secondary stuff -- namely a changeup or slider. He also has a great tempo that the defense enjoys working behind. Can you speculate as to the future of Devin Mesoraco in Cincinnati? I assume Stuart Turner will be in Triple-A next year since the Reds were able to keep him on the Major League roster all of 2017? -- Tom G., Alexandria, Ky. Mesoraco will be entering the final season of his four-year, $28 million contract. Over the first three years of that deal, hip, shoulder and foot injuries decimated his ability to play and produce, and he has played just 95 games with 57 starts.
