  1. Thanks for the analysis Parker. I'll be interested to see how he progresses this year at Fort Myers.
  2. Bollinger gives a higher projected inning limitation for Gibson than Brian Murphy's 100-130 innings from a few days ago. Bollinger also states that Gibson's role would more likely be as a starter. At full strength, prospect Kyle Gibson eyes Twins' rotation | twinsbaseball.com: News

  7. Francisco Liriano broke his arm falling in the bathroom | Tireball MLB News, Rumors and Opinions
  8. Interesting article about the Twins signing of Kevin Correia. "But I have a lot of faith and trust in people that have seen him, and they were adamant that this guy can help us. He's a little bit better than a fifth starter. ..." Mackey: Twins Taking a Philosophical Gamble
  9. LaVelle reports there are "indications that the [Twins and Saunders] have made recent progress on a deal." Twins remain interested in Saunders as offseason closes | StarTribune.com

  11. Looks like he's still there. His bio says he was a sniper on the SWAT team for several years and is now the night supervisor. Baton Rouge Detectives' Bios
  12. An interesting quote by Terry Ryan. "'We've got to start being realistic . . . [a]nd realistic is, in September, (playing) meaningful games. You talk about winning the division -- well, we all want to do that. Postseason, we all want to do that. 'But coming off the amount of losses that we've had. . . Playing major league baseball in September when the games don't mean a thing, that's no good for anybody. We need to get to that point before we can start worrying about much of anything else.'" Notebook: Twins Likely Done Making Significant Moves this Ooffseason
  13. Phil Mackey wrote about this last night. Below are couple of quotes from and a link to the article. ". . . Ryan now runs every personnel move by the team's manager of baseball research, Jack Goin, who manages the team's Pitch F/X database among other tools." "Back when I was over at the Metrodome in '07, we did a lot of stat work, but it wasn't with the depth that he certainly provides for us. It's different. And he's got some statistical things that I don't believe in, and he's got a lot of things that I do believe in." Notebook: Twins likely done making significant moves this offseason
  14. "But Twins general manager Terry Ryan said he expects to fill the position from within, with Darin Mastroianni and prospects Aaron Hicks and Joe Benson competing for the spot." Twins leaning toward in-house solution for center field | twinsbaseball.com: News
  15. Gotta love that '69 team.
  16. Rhiner Cruz also stuck all year with the Astros.
  17. Goodness. Twelve minutes later and its over.
  18. Is there any way to track the Rule 5 draft online tomorrow?

  20. My guess is that LaVelle's source is from the players' side, since Saunders and Liriano share the same agent. It's possible that the Twins have also made other offers that LaVelle can't confirm. John Heyman also identified Edwin Jackson, Shaun Marcum, Brandon McCarthy, Jair Jurrjens and Carl Pavano as potential Twins targets. I'm sure the Twins aren't going to confirm who they've given offers to. LaVelle can only write the name of players he can confirm.

  24. Isn't he more likely to start the season at Fort Myers? He spent most of last year in low A.
