Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He's (Michael Tonkin) a guy who takes the ball. He hasn't had a chance [to pitch] significant innings very often, but he's provided value along the way. I just encouraged him to look at this as an opportunity. There's a lot of frustration, I'm sure, in the moment." - Minnesota Twins Manager Paul Molitor in The Star Tribune (Phil Miller, 05/06/2017, Michael Tonkin is latest long-time Twins player to be sent packing, Source)
