"Debby". Debby? Really? Debby?

[Seth Stohs]

Yeah, part of me thought "I should just type "(He's) instead of Debby's." Oh well.

[Thrylos]

"Debby" or actually "Deiby" has been Romero's nickname throughout his pro career in the US. At this point Bartlett should be a mercy cut. I think that Colabello is fighting for Kubel's job. Add Escobar/Florimon, Parmelee and Suzuki/Pinto that that can just be the Twins' bench. Not too many options out there, esp for a second Utility job.

[TKGuy]

I believe that Colabello has to be a DH/RH off the bench for this team. He's earned it this spring, and I am certainly happy for him that he wanted to stay here instead of Korea. I heard Gardy talk about keeping 13 pitchers and now 2 utility infielders, which will just kill our bench.

I'd like to see them take Colabello north, I think he's earned it. Although we all know hitting in ST doesn't necessarily transfer to the regular season (see Hicks 2013). But yeah, he was pmki in AAA last year. I hope they don't pick Kubel over CC. Yes, I'm hoping Gardy says "Day-bee" not Debby (sigh).

[Shane Wahl]

The Twins almost need either Romero or Colabello as that RH bat on the bench. I don't think they are going to roll out with two utility infielders. That would be silly beyond anything Gardy would do.

[Mike Sixel]

Why buy three FA starters, then plan for 13 pitchers? If they aren't good enough to start 6+ innings......then they made some serious mistakes.

[Seth Stohs]

I think 13 starters is pretty unlikely at this point.

[JB_Iowa]

I think 13 starters is pretty unlikely at this point.

 

 

13 starters or 13 pitchers, Seth?

 

Really curious on this one.

[Willihammer]

Pinto looks better to me. Seems to be moving around less before the pitch, setting up early and holding more still.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

13 starters or 13 pitchers, Seth?

 

Really curious on this one.

 

Maybe Worley just needs to pitch on 12 days rest?

[Tibs]

Is Kubel on the 40 man? I don't think he is. Right now Colabello should be the DH over him whether he is or not.

[ashbury]

Maybe Worley just needs to pitch on 12 days rest?

 

Or, Gardy/Andy need 12 days rest between his starts?
