Seth, have you heard anything interesting about Angel Morales? I know small sample sizes apply, and this is a slight exaggeration, but it seems like he has had more good offensive performances this...

Good read, Seth. Thanks! Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Twins re-signed Capps following the 2011 season. The second supplemental pick came from losing Kubel.

Pedro Florimon is on pace to make 108 errors this year. Why is he in the lineup again?

I just might be able to one up you... I was listening to the Twins game on mlb.tv yesterday, and it kept playing the White Sox audio feed at the same time as the Twins. It seemed like it would...

I am absolutely shocked that Reynolds and Betemit stink. Who could have seen that one coming?

I'm not really a fan of the move, but at the same time, the O's are probably pretty tired of...

Makes Dozier look like a deity with better defense than Ozzie Smith might be more like it...

Are guys with mustaches supposed to be able to steal that many bases? Without doing any advanced research, it seems like mustaches and stolen bases would be inversely proportional.

Ouch indeed.

I think the Twins found someone with worse hands than Bernard Berrian!!

Absolutely not. Capps would be 4th or 5th on the bullpen depth chart for the Giants. That's a lot of cash for what would probably amount to a mop up guy. Besides, they've got Lincecum for that...

Remember, 1/2 of Capps 2012 contract has already been paid, so it would only be $2.375M or so. Can't disagree with the rest, though!!

Phil Nevin is the manager for the Mud Hens. Yet another warning sign that I may be starting to get old...

Nevin should have known Oliver was done for the day once he gave up the first hit to...

Look on the bright side. Capps on a 1 year contract at $4.75 is a lot more palatable than the 4 year/$50M contract Philly handed out to Papelbon. Now there's a *last place* team that puts proper...

Do I now hold the TwinsDaily record for most words typed about Jason Kendall?

The argument can be made that Jason Kendall, at least through the first 2300 plate appearances of his career, had a similar offensive profile to that of Joe Mauer, but we can not assume Mauer will...

Bethancourt's hitting just .253/.276/.281 in AA this season in 49 games. He has not had an isolated discipline above .025 since 2009. I'd probably want to see some marked improvement in both his...

Another name to add to the list is the Braves' 2011 4th round pick, J.R. Graham. He's a 22 year old righty in high-A who is starting full-time for the first time.

Everything you read about him...

How do the injuries to the Yankees lefty starters, Sabathia (groin) and Pettitte (ankle), affect Liriano's trade value? Freddy Garcia and David Phelps do not sound like a Yankees-like solution to...

This is just picking nits, but I believe the Twins let David Ortiz walk to make room for Doug Mientkiewicz.

The Romy Jimenez picture amuses me. He and his lack of arms scoff at Jim Abbot's missing hand.

Seriously, though - thanks for the update!!

Almost everything you read about Sano has a comment about how surprisingly athletic he is, so there is still a chance he sticks at third. An elite hitting 3B is a rarer commodity than a really good...

I used to follow the Braves closer than the Twins. I was a huge fan of Dion James, Ron Gant, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Chipper Jones, and Ryan Klesko. Heck, I still remember David Nied. I'm still...

Chipper is one of the greatest hitting third basemen of all time. No one can disprove that. Based on his counting stats and spending essentially his entire career at the hot corner, he makes it...

I've also heard that Span kicks small puppies and runs a dog fighting ring.

Yes, Span missed 92 games in 2011, but he played 153 games in 2010 and 145 in 2009. The last time I checked both of...

Thanks for the updates, Thrylos. Please tell me you're not at work!!

Carl Pavano loves playing with his balls when nobody is looking.
