Jim Thome is just 11 home runs shy of 600 for his career. "I don't think about it until I'm asked," Thome said with a smile. "I know that number is out there. But the bottom line is that it's a process, and you have to be healthy and let it play itself out. But if it happens, we'll enjoy it -- and it would be a great thing. "But I'm not wrapped up every day thinking about that," he added. "The bottom line is that every time you come to the ballpark, you want to do things to help your team win. But this is about the long process of winning, and if you do that, all of the other things will take care of themselves." He hit 25 home runs for the Twins in 2010.
