I am planning of having a contest a month in this space on which the winner will get some nice Twins-related goodies:
- For each of the off-season contests (December, January, February and March), the winner will get a copy of one of the best minor league publications for the Twins
Minnesota Twins Prospect Handbook - 2009, by Seth Stohs of SethSpeaks.net a major authority in the Twins' blogosphere, personally autographed by Seth himself. - For the in-season contests, I will give away goodies (balls and cards, mainly) autographed by current and past Twins players
- I will have a big contest that will run all season long dealing with predicting the outcome of the season and the winner will receive a package of autographed goodies, including a ball autographed by a Hall of Famer
Here is how it works:
- Every month I will post a challenge question
- The contest will end the last day of the month
- The first person that gives the correct answer to the challenge question in the comments space here (click the pencil at the bottom of the post), will be the winner
- Only one answer per person, and "anonymous" users cannot win, just to keep the one answer integrity; so think
Without further ado here is the challenge question for December:
Predict the moves that the Twins' front office will make by the end of December
Scoring and rules:
- 3 points for each correct major league move
- 1 point for each minor league move and roster addition or subtraction
- All players in the moves need to be identified correctly to receive points (e.r. "the Twins will acquire a relief pitcher", will receive no points)
- Dollar amounts of contracts are not necessary
- If no moves are made the first person that says "no moves" wins (but this is highly unlikely because the arbitration deadline is today, so don't do it :) )
- Please do not include moves made before this post (e.g. Punto re-signing) or post a move that was made after this post but before your comment. They will not count
- Have fun and bring a friend or two :)
