Jon Rauch is a walking ad for Sheraton

The Twins acquired Jon Rauch from the Diamondbacks last week, and when I hear "6'11 righty" I think some dope coming to grips with his size, just trying to fit in. Instead, we get Jon Rauch who quite visibly realizes that he doesn't fit in. If memory serves, Mr. Rauch is the first Twin to have a neck tattoo.
It helps if you are a hard throwing reliever if you look completely unhinged. Rauch does that. I can't help but notice that the tattoo, probably a beautiful tribute to his marriage, looks an awful lot like something else.
So it's either an advertisement for a luxury hotel chain, or a an undying commitmeat a hotel nt to his spouse. Either way, it sort of takes away from the insane mystique.

Nah, any guy who lets someone take a needle to their neck is still nuts, even if it does get them three nights at a hotel anywhere in the country.

Hmm. This does change things.

See, I respected Rauch for not taking the number 57 that he wore in Arizona, because he felt on the Twins, 57 still belonged to Santana.

But a neck tatoo is completely insane.
