Re: Richardson's triple. Not sure whether you were watching on TV, but from the ballpark it could have been an inside the park. It was hit at center right field and split the CF and RF and slowly...

I was at the game for Gibson's start today. I will write a bit about it soon, but color me impressed. There is no reason for him not to be with the Twins tomorrow... Colabello played RF today btw

No spot left. Those are 24-men rosters, unless things changed with the CBA

Albers, Hendriks (he is the youngest guy on that roster) Thielbar and DeVries; even Deduno. If the Twins can make players out of Burton and Fien, and a closer out of Perkins (rewind 3-4 years ago),...

Indeed. And add Butera's spot to the equation.

Morneau is a sad story. He is a shade of his former self and has as many HRs as Florimon at this point. Not sure what the scoop is with him...

Span + Revere had a grand total of 4 HRs the whole...

The New Britain roster is at 24. Beresford was re-instated from the DL I think that the next lefty to go will be Blake Martin and that will open the door for someone like Corey Williams to move...

If the Twins need a centerfielder for more than a day or two (Ramirez will fill in then) it has to be Clete Thomas. He has been Rochester's starting CF the last 2 seasons and right now is the...

Agree about the second part, but if someone is allowing Brian Duensing to face Miguel Cabrera or a soft tossing righty to face big Papi, it is on the manager.

Nope. Anthony said that Perez will compete for a rotation spot after he signed... Here

This made me realize that the Red Wings are in my back yard this weekend and he is starting the Sunday game. Just got my ticket next to the visitors' bench and will report promptly what I will see. ...

I think that Eddie will be on a top 100 list pretty soon. You don't see 20/20 second basemen with 900 OPS every day. Before this season he played a grand total of 71 games at second. This season,...

Dirty little secret: Take away W-L and ERA and De Vries was the best Twins' pitcher in 2012 not Diamond. He has nothing to prove, other than durability, if one thinks that Diamond is doing "well"...

Last year it was Mackey hands down. Really liked to read Sinker's stuff too, but this is so far and in between these days
This year I really like what Woolfson, Warne and Berardino doing as well. ...

I think that this might be a long term goal, but I suspect that the Twins will kick the tires onRaphael Perez before this happens, even just to see what they have or use as a trade bait (for a C...

Why, again, Albers has "no future with the Twins"? On which wall is that written?

He is a great story. Drafted by the Padres, injured, out of baseball for 2 years then CanAm independent ball with Quebec for a bit before signed with the Twins

Why would that be?

Hernandez as a starter: 6.75 ERA, 1.721 WHIP, 5.6 K/9, 1.6 K/BB, 4.5 IP/S, .320 BABIP .958 OOPS
Worley: 7.15 ERA, 1.949 WHIP, 4.8 K/9, 2.1 K/BB, 4.9 IP/S, .405 BABIP .997 OOPS...

I'd argue that Andrew Albers (Lefty, 2.75 ERA, 1.250 WHIP, 8.5 K/9, 3.8 K/BB, 22.8 K%) deserves a call up before Gibson (3.92 ERA, 1.260 WHIP, 7.9 K/9, 3.2 K/BB, 21.4 K%) if someone is to get up from...

ummm
they did they did...

Good stuff.


where where? Seems that they were censored ;)

Wonder how defensive metrics correlate with RA, as well. Especially the "defensive runs saved" type of measures.

Did you check...

Deibi Romero arrived like 3 weeks ago and was ESTing. Good to see him up in CT, but should be in NY soon

And Souhan is trying (again) to make a point using:

- Batting averages
- ERAs
- in a small sample size

What's new?
(OK, RBIs and quality starts are missing, I suppose)

let him play half a season at AA and then we can talk. And he is an OF not a first baseman. DJ Hicks is the first baseman in Cedar Rapids and he is pretty good with both the glove and the stick. ...
