Living here in the Twin Cities, I feel spoiled to be able to be 30 minutes from Target Field......though tickets for your average fan is very difficult to get. Luckily, I'm not average. 8-)
Anyway, I actually have the "real Twins" in another league. The only thing that slows down Thome is Target Field. So far after 48 games, here are Thome's numbers:
.203 Avg, .295 OBP, .469 SLUG, 14HR, 31 RBIs 68Ks in 177ABs
It really sucks to have a $9M DH batting .203 with a .295OBP. He has spent most of the season batting below the Mendoza line. The jury is still out on him. If he was in Coors or Yankee Stadium, Thome could be an absolute monster though.
