How Do They Do It?

If you want to know how the Minnesota Twins...the nearly contracted Minnesota Twins, the very small market Minnesota Twins can consistently put out a solid product on the field and give hell to other big market teams (save for the Yankees which is bizarre), than Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times has your answers.

Also I spoke with a friend who follows minor league baseball closely and one of the other things they do according to him, is that they rarely 'promote' guys at the minor league level to another team or category no matter how well they are playing  during a season. You start a year in A ball, you finish a year in A ball. They don't rush prospects. Something the White Sox have been doing for years, usually with bad results (Clayton Richard the latest example)
