Twins Promote Jose Berrios

Initially I could see Berrios struggle. It will take him a little while to adjust to Major League hitters and he may be a bit excited. But what I have seen so far is Berrios is smart and adjusts pretty quickly. Plus his three pitches are Major League quality stuff. Actually I am surprised, I could have sworn the Twins FO was going to wait and see with Berrios.

Wed is Gibson's next scheduled start, amiright?

 

Interesting.

I would imagine its just pushing everyone back a day, and Milone gets bumped from rotation... don't think there's anything to read into it being Gibson's turn

So Berrios is added to the 40 man roster so I do think that means the Twins will go with a two man bench for the next week unless they can call Polanco back when/if Santana/Duffey goes to the DL?

Someone (Seth I think) mentioned if Santana/ Duffey goes to a DL, that doesn't mean Kepler/Buxton/Polanco are eligible to skip the 10 day window, only a pitcher would be, since its a pitcher going on the DL.  

So unless they plan on making another 40 man move, yeah a 2 man bench it is, which is just pure madness.  

EDIT: Lavelle is saying Polanco is on his way back up, so maybe Seth was mistaken when he said it would have to be Pitcher for Pitcher

I'm pretty sure that's incorrect.

 

If the MLB team DL's a player, a recently demoted player can take his place, regardless of the position of either player.

Yup I just edited my post - I read that on here earlier today but it was obviously incorrect, as it appears Polanco was called up

I hope this isn't another case of                                                (although in this case   the cart seems to doing just fine in front)

Well, Damn Night shift!

I will be "calling in sick" Wednesday night to catch it on TV  ( We're lucky our FSNorth Cameramen are so awesome)

Anyways, curios move though, I pictured Berrios up a week or 3 into May or even early June, but April?

I thought Alexander Meyer would get the start on Wednesday....what gives?

I think this is  a TOTAL PR move, they want ticket sales badly.......WE ALL saw how few people were at the Twins - Indians game monday night...... it looked like 9,000 fans in the stands in total.
