Mark (Klattsy),
Poor Luke, just getting dumped and passed around. He is such a good guy and someone that could contribute if he were given a real shot at playing semi-regularly. The A's looked like they were trying to field an all Aussie team and now they'll be lucky to have one by the end of the season.
Hopefully Luke rebounds, and selfishly speaking, it's while in a Twins uni.
Tony, yeah it sucks for him. He is too good for AAA, but he won't get any better at the MLB level until someone gives him a decent chance. Look how well he goes during spring training games. I really thought the A's, with their limited budget and "low end" roster might be the team. I'm seriously worried Luke will end up following other Aussies like Justin Huber and Chris Oxspring and end up in the Independent League. Not sure if any country would interest him (i.e. Japan/Tawain ect)
Hey what's up! Fellow casual twins collector here! I don't have a ton of GU items.. got about 7 bats, a Kubel helmet, a Morneau M cap. I like decorating my basement with the stuff.
A great contact to know is Shaun over at Fan HQ at Ridgedale mall (http://fanhqstore.com). He always has interesting game used items on hand and he's Morneau collector himself. They also gets lots of Twins for in-store autograph signings.
I got an extra Valencia bat if you're interested BTW.
Tony - Luke got sent down to AA. He made some strange posts on Twitter as well. Not sure what is going on with Luke and the A's organisation.
I've been following that as well. I am a bit confused and really hope that he gets a break sometime soon. 2012 started off so well, he gets on the opening day roster and was hitting bombs in Spring Training. Then the release happens (which I think was a be premature, given which fielders we picked up on waivers), then the mess with the A's... He's due to catch a nice break. (right?!)
