Get Him to the Majors

The Twins have a rookie ball pitcher named Shooter Hunt. If that's not good enough, Shooter is off to an amazing start. In fourteen innings, he's struck out 28 and walked just two without allowing a home run. Opponents have collected just two hits. With two hit by pitches, only 18 of 50 batters have put the ball in play against Shooter.

He's 21 years old. I think he can handle rookie ball. Send him to AA New Britian so I can see him pitch, and then get him to the majors as soon as possible.

Update: Thanks to my friends at Sports Radio 610 for the tip.

I'd love to see him make the Twins while Boof Bonser is still there. If nothing else, it'd probably inspire a Jayson Stark rumbling on whether it's the first time in baseball history that there were two teammates with double O's in their first names.

Then they can hire Mookie Wilson and Shooty Babbitt to their coaching staff.

p.s. Too bad Tookie Gilbert died young.
