Your Latest Justin Huber Update - He's Back in the Division!

Our main man is back in the news, and you can take back the thousands of anti-Twins comments I've made over the years...

Huber has signed a minor league deal with the Twins. The people in Rochester sure sound excited about it. According to this Twins reporter with an extremely unusual name, AAA is about all Huber will be competing for.
I need a volunteer to scour Gleeman's site to see if he's got a take.
A Huber story from Down Under.

Huber, who belted two home runs in last night's 9-3 win at Napier Park, realises the importance of swinging the bat well when the Classic starts.

"It's good to get these games in. I haven't played since the minor league season finished last year and any time you see good pitching it helps," Huber said.

"You can get strong in the gym, but nothing replaces the speed of the game. I've been playing professionally for eight years. I think I have a good resume. Clubs know what I can and can't do and I'm working on the things I don't do well.

"I don't really feel any pressure. I'm relaxed, positive and confident in what I can do."

From AaronGleeman.com per request

“Once an outstanding catcher prospect who became a slightly less outstanding first-base prospect, Justin Huber inexplicably never got much of a chance with the Royals despite seven straight seasons with an OPS above .800 in the minors. He finally stopped hitting last season, batting .246/.318/.352 in 61 games at Triple-A and .246/.303/.393 in 33 games with the Padres, but Huber is still just 26 years old and will try to get back on track at Rochester after signing a minor-league contract with the Twins.”

Also, he can raise the dead and turn water into Porsches.
