It’s official in Twins Territory: Joe Ryan mania has already taken over. After just two starts for the Minnesota Twins, one of the Twins’ top prospects has become the face of optimism for this team going forward.
Granted, his first start may not have been perfect, but his second start nearly was, so for long-suffering fans, this is an exciting development for a team that greatly struggles to develop any pitching talent (though the Rays did most of the developing).
