Blast from the Past



Love seeing the old turf in the video and knowing that it is in some dump or someone's basement somewhere. I also had forgotten how awesome those white Twins jersey's were and hope that we get a few retro-games again this year.

Cristian Guzman
seems to have lost a step since the Minnesota Twins made this little commercial. However, after getting the first hit at the new Washington Nationals park, Guzman seems to be poised for a little come back. He is on pace to get 30 doubles, 30 triples and 30 homeruns (insert laugh here). I've always been a fan of Guzman and think that he can be a huge asset to the Nationals. However, he is also a liability in the field and will make more than his fair share of errors.

With Matt Tolbert poised to take over the starting shortstop position, he stands to be the first to make an impact from the shortstop position since Guzman's stint. After short roles from Juan Castro, Adam Everett, Luis Rodriguez and Jason Bartlett, if Tolbert can pull this off we may be able to stop this revolving door of shortstops.
