In the aftermath of last night’s wild Twins win I realized not only had Joe Mauer won his 3rd career batting title, but that I had to find the winner of the Target Field Ticket Competition of who could guess Joe’s 2009 batting average.
Congratulations to Alan Johnson!
Joe finished with a career high .3652 average. Mr. Alan Johnson guessed .3654 putting himself just .0002 behind Joe.
Congrats again to Alan and continue to look for more giveaways here at TwinsMVB.com. Go Twins!

If you’re reading this I sure hope you’re in the right place… the new home of The Minnesota Twins Most Valuable Blogger. TWINSMVB.COM!!!
After a great year of blogging over at Blogger we decided to go out on our own with our very own domain and hosting. About three weeks later for the web designed challenged person that I am, this is what we have and I hope you enjoy it! I want to highlight a few things about the new site.
I’m most excited about the opportunity to have multiple pages. So if you notice in the upper right header below our peeping Twins you’ll see some new links. I encourage you to check those out. Read more about the MVB team and watch some videos with Twinsvision. Also, if you get sick of checking back at twinsmvb.com everday simply hit the SUBSCRIBE button and subscribe to our RSS feed.
Another exciting feature is the addition of the Twins Podcast. This feature will continue to grow here at Twins MVB. But for now, we need YOUR HELP! If you listen to the podcast you will find that we’re holding a contest to name the Twins Podcast. In the comments section at the top of the post give us your best creative work and we’ll give away some FREE TICKETS to a 2009 Twins game to the winner with the best idea.
There are many more exciting things to check out with the new site so I’ll leave some of the additions for you alone to discover. Most importantly, we want to thank all our fans and readers and encourage you to tell you friends and family about the new site. We promise an exciting 2009 year at TWINSMVB.COM!

Friday marked a historic day in Twins history. The Twins inked former MVP Justin Morneau to a six-year $80 million deal, the largest contract in franchise history. The Twins didn’t stop there as they also locked up rightfielder Michael Cuddyer to a three-year $24 million deal. In amazing news, Twins owner Carl Pohlad opened his wallet 104 million dollars deep, which we all know is still pocket change to the billionaire banker.
The sighs of relief across Twins Territory were great enough to blow the air out of the Metrodome as Twins fans know two of their stars will be sticking around for awhile longer. After an offseason that has seen franchise star Torii Hunter leave and the imminent departure of ace pitcher Johan Santana, we’re reassured to see Cuddyer in the new ballpark in 2010 and we can rest easy as Morneau will not be a free agent until 2013.
I was ecstatic to read this news and see new GM Bill Smith be proactive and lock up our key players which past management has failed to do. I think the Cuddyer 3-year deal is a good one given the current high market value. Initially it may seem more than he is worth, but it is key for the Twins to know they have a stable right hand bat to produce for three years in the middle of the lineup. Cuddyer brings a great outfield arm, below average defensive range, but it is a great man for the clubhouse and the Twin Cities. Having Morneau locked up is such an important move for this franchise. This is the first time Twins fans can know they will have a star player like Kirby Puckett sticking around Minneapolis for awhile. Morneau will not only be around for the opening of the new ballpark but for many years after. He will be the new face of the franchise along with catcher Joe Mauer, so let’s hope for a few more MVP awards.
PRIZE WINNER!
I apologize as I cam currently on a 10 day roadtrip and internet access will be rare. That’s why this breaking news from Friday is posted so late. But the Twins contract announcements came as a great opener for the 2008 Twins FanFest at the Metrodome. From what I’ve read and seen in pictures, the weekend looked like another great success and most importantly there was good news to share.
Attending the Twins FanFest will be the winner of the first ever Twins MVB Free Prize Giveway, Dan. Dan is an avid MVB reader from Farmington, MN.
Congratulations to Dan and I promise another free prize giveaway in the future.
Until then, celebrate the good Twins news and prepare for more with the Santana trade clock ticking down to four weeks.

That’s right MVB fans, it’s the first ever FREE PRIZE GIVEAWAY!
I know this is a little late notice, but I just got my hands on two tickets to the Twins FanFest at the Metrodome in Minneapolis this weekend Jan 25- Jan 27. Sadly, I am unable to go and I want some Twins fan to have the opportunity to go.
Here’s how this giveaway will work….
All you have to do is send an email with your first name and your favorite Twins player as the subject line to twinsmvb@gmail.com by 8 PM tomorrow (Thursday, Jan. 24). I will then randomly select an email, get in contact with the winner, and send the tickets overnight to our winner.
If you’ve never been to the Twins FanFest it really is a great time. It’s a huge festival down on the field in the Metrodome. There are opportunities for autographs, player photos, trivia, games, auctions on memorabilia, auditions to sing the national anthem, and my favorite Q&A sessions with the players. I’d recommend it to any Twins fan.
Check out the link here for player autograph schedules and a full description.
