Holy Torii!

Apparently, last night was a prime opportunity for our beloved Torii Hunter to prove to fans that he wants to play in Minnesota next year. Two home runs and seven RBIs later, Torii has done just that.

So far this season, no one can deny that Torii Hunter has been the backbone of the Twins' lineup. Hitting .324 with 29 RBI and 8 home runs and plenty of hustle in the outfield, fans are seeing plenty of reasons this year to think about shelling out upwards of $12 million to keep Torii in the Dome.

Is he worth it? That depends.

If Mr. Hunter can keep up stats like these all season long, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be completely worth the money, but if he does cool off (its a long season) or shoots off his mouth in the dugout, those $12 million dollars might be better served going toward keeping the Twins' biggest asset, Johan Santana.

Only time will tell, I suppose. I'll keep you posted.

See you on the field,
NAG
