Josh's Bio

I was born a Twins fan and have lived in Minnesota my entire life. I'm currently attending St. Cloud State University in Central Minnesota as a Journalism Major. I have a passion for not only the Major Leagues, but for the Minor Leagues as well. I have and will believe that Minor League baseball is more interesting as we really get to see players come up from the bottom ranks and progress and grow into Major League All-Stars.

I am a sports enthusiast and enjoy watching just about anything sports related. My work can also be read at Josh's Thoughts and BaseballDigest.com.

Hey Josh,

I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks
