Some in Minnesota have been wondering what exactly will become of the St. Paul Saints when the Twins go outdoors in two years. After all, the minor league team's top selling point, aside from its legendary wackiness, has been that they're outdoors and the Twins aren't. Even with ten more ideas per year as brilliant as the Larry Craig bobble foot, can the Saints survive?
Not only can they, but it appears they'll have competition. The other Twin Cities pre-1961 minor league team, the Minneapolis Millers, may be revived, with a new ballpark in suburban Burnsville. The new Millers would play in the Northern League.
As for the Twins? It really hurts to be swept in four games by the White Sox and the completely insane Ozzie Guillen. It really does.

Guillen, I mean. Not Hugo Chavez.

and Burnsville? Sounds like that should be Pohlad's hometown...
