The snow is thawing and we're one more Wednesday closer to Opening Day, which means it's time for me to hook you up with some excellent baseball reading.

I'm going to pretty much avoid anything Joe Nathan-related today, since it's kinda depressing and speculative at this point, and we talked about it here yesterday. Since the majority of Twins Territory is discussing the Fate of Joe Nate, I'm going to share links outside the comfort zone. I hope you enjoy them!
