Jason Kubel might be the one guy on the Twins you want to see at the plate right now (two homers), or on the basepaths (stolen base Saturday), or in the field (great catch Sunday).

The Donovan McNabb-to-the-Vikings rumors might be bubbling to the surface again, even during a lockout.

Dwyane Wade might be sitting out for the Heat because of an untimely migraine.

FIVE THINGS

• Miguel Cabrera, Tigers

• Nelson Cruz, Rangers

• Howie Kendrick, Angels
