Though some prospects had great months, they never really hit their stride as a team, and never went on any kind of winning streak. With the month in the rear view, the Snappers will look to make some noise in the Midwest League Western Division. http://twins.scout.com/2/886091.html Brad Weiss http://twins.scout.com/2/886091.html Sat, 08 Aug 2009 16:41:00 GMT 1 292 Minnesota twins The Minnesota Twins picked up Carl Pavano on Friday, a day after finishing a three-game set against his old team.
