Gee, The Twins Signed A Pitcher

Gee, I'm not impressed. How come the Twins only sign guys the buzzards are circling? Don't we have anybody in the minors who isn't dead meat?

Are we really sure Terry Ryan isn't pulling levers behind the big curtain?

Free Slegers

That's only with the purchase of a Ryan Eades of equal or lesser value. That's how they get ya.

What is Deduno up to these days?

He abides. Or so I've heard.

Sincere question: do the twins promote guys much slower than most teams? It sure seems that way to me

The article also mentioned that Gardy was saying Justin Morneau is ready to sign. Hummm. Anyway, wasn't Gee mentioned in the Santana trade waaaay back? The Twins wanted Pelfrey, but the Mets offered Humber or Gee?

Getting a lot of names backing up the rosters at Chattanooga AND Rochester. Be interesting to see who goes where or out in the next couple of weeks!

Remember during spring training when a lot of people were up in arms over the "wealth" of starting pitching we had and how that would probably mean wasting a year of Berrios and Mejia in the minors?

I sure wish we had another Berrios and Mejia in AAA fighting for a spot instead of having to dumpster dive to have somebody throw a few innings so the bullpen doesn't have a rash of arms falling off.

Here is a toast to Trevor May making his return June 1 of next year to Target Field. Health to Ervin, Jose and Alberto along with a little growth and 1 new starter and then maybe we can talk about having a decent league average+ rotation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is Hurlbut never mentioned as a potential fill-in back end starter?

So we got Gee.

Anyone for a Doug Fister flier?  The more, the merrier.

If you thought the puns for Gee were bad...

Looks like Doug Fister is becoming free again as well - he could be another stopgap option.   

He's so bad the Angels weren't interested, right?

He only made 3 starts in AAA - the first 2 were ok and the 3rd one was bad.  Maybe he had a time limit on his deal with them to either make the majors or release him or they didn't like that last start.
