With the Twins just about eliminated, Aaron Gleeman suggests that they address their offensive shortcomings by trying to acquire Ryan Howard from the Phillies, possibly in a deal for Torii Hunter. Sid Hartman had previously suggested that the Twins try to pry away the Phils' other first baseman, Jim Thome, but I like Aaron's idea better.
This may be because at this point it's quite clear that the 23-year-old Aaron Gleeman knows quite a bit more about sports than the 86-year-old Sid Hartman. I mean, I heard Sid on the radio the other week and he mistakenly referred to Brett Favre as "Bart Starr."

GO YANKS!!!
