Around SBN: SB Nation NBA Power Rankings for Week 2

Boobe...I mean Boone...

  I have just read a headline that showed the Twins have picked up that bat flippin piece of crap Bret Boone.  As if I needed another reason to hate the Twins...
  Does anybody out there think this will push the Twins over the top in the Wild card race, or help them get back into the AL Central race?  
   Seattle gets cash or a player to be named later.  It's almost hard to believe that Boone went from being called a future hall of famer to a last minute trade after being put on waivers.  I hope the twins enjoy the same amount of success that the Mariners did this year with Boonie.

I hate Bob Boone
That statement doesn't address your question, but I just had to say it.

Please help disabled kids in Sacramento play baseball by helping the Rivercats build a specially equipped field for them.

Bret Boone
has not been very good this year. I can't see where he will push them over the top.

Can't be
Much wore than what production the twins have been getting from their other 2B.  It could help as boone is still a gold glover at 2B.

Ugh.
Why do the Twins NOT want to be likeable? Getting rid of AJ was such a great move, it was possible to like those crazy kinds out in Minnesota but now they pick up BOONE?! Lame.

Boone's D
Has slipped quite a bit recently.  He's no longer a gold-glover out there.  Solid, sure, but not among the best.

At least I no longer have to see him flip his bat (not that he was doing it very much) in person.

Great, so we get to face him, what,
9 more times this year?

I know that Rincon has now circled the Twins games as games where he may retire a righty!
