And in the better late than never category....

Congrats to Randy Ruiz on his call up earlier this month to the bigs with the Minn. Twins. Randy played in the last 39 games of the 2007 season with Defenders. He went to Triple A Rochester at the start of this season and was having a great season batting .313 with 30 doubles, 15 HRs and 63 RBIs.
With the Twins he's doing well: 9 for 25 with two doubles and 3 RBIs.
Thanks to hondo for the heads up on this former Defender!
