This is kind of cool: one of the two minor league players who got traded yesterday from the Mets to the Twins for Luis Castillo I actually know. Drew Butera, a 23 year old catcher, is a good friend of one of my college roommates. Last summer I saw him play with two of my former college roommates and we hungout for a bit afterwards. We even went to Dairy Queen (its the minors, what do you expect?). Drew got assigned to Double A with the Twins and I wish him luck. According to my roommate, who has the inside scoop, the Twins might be looking to DH Joe Mauer a bit more next year due to knee problems and continued growth. Anyway, just thought that was cool.
