Twins' Smeltzer knocking on door to Majors (great backstory)

As if you needed any more reasons to root for our prospects to succeed! Hard not to root for this guy going forward.

Smeltzer, by the way, was a throw in prospect in the Dozier-trade that was actually headlined by Luke Raley (who is also off to a great start at AAA but recently injured). Smelter had a 0.60 ERA through 5 starts at AA this year with 9.9 SO/9. So far at AAA through 3 games the ERA is 1.89. AAA pitchers are getting shelled across the board this year so that is very impressive.

I like this guy. Father had the same cancer (way rare in adults.) Go guy I hadn’t heard of but who is now one of my favorite players!

Really good stuff. I'm rooting for him big time.
