    One could say Burroughs is a poor man's Brandon Inge with less power and position flexibility. Seems like a viable option for some power of the bench. Why not?

    Cole DeVries is a local kid (played HS at Evil Prairie and later at the U), who I feel is a viable bullpen option for the Twins. He was on KFAN at the beginning of Spring Training. You can hear the interview on the following link (starts at the 15:50 mark): http://www.kfan.com/player/?station=KFXN-FM&program_name=podcast&program_id=KFAN_PADubay.xml&mid=21871835 His minor league performance is documented here at milb.com: http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=P&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=453301 You'll notice throughout his career that he's had a solid K/BB ratio and has spent time as both a reliever and a starter. Currently at AAA and not currently on the 40 man roster, I see him as someone that could fill a long relief role with the Twins, possibly developing into a Matt Guerrier-type relief pitcher. Take a look at how their minor league stats compare: [TABLE=width: 1299] [/TD][TD] G ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO WHIP H/9 HR/9 BB/9 SO/9 SO/BB DeVries (6 Seasons) 173 3.96 618.1 676 327 272 62 186 480 1.394 9.8 0.9 2.7 7 2.58 Guerrier (7 Seasons) 180 3.54 682 623 318 268 67 181 529 1.179 8.2 0.9 2.4 7 2.9 [/TABLE]

    Some would say none of our actual 4th OF can play OF either. Because isn't Clete our 3rd outfielder now?

    I wrote about him last week, so how about Cole DeVries?

    So the Rays are about to sign Matsui to a minor league deal. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/04/rays-expected-to-sign-hideki-matsui.html I get that he's 37, but I suppose there's no way we could have used him as a 4th OF or DH. I suppose anyone nicknamed "Godzilla" isn't scrappy enough for the Twins roster.

    I'd be curious to see what Guerra would do against AAA hitters before being called up, but if he keeps up that stat line, why not bring him up? It's not like we'd be any worse off from a bullpen perspective. Maybe DeVries needs a full year at AAA before he gets added to the 40 man, but I think he's got some potential in the long relief/spot start role.

    If you listen to the likes of Bonnes and Gleeman (which I do), Jeff Gray is the relief pitcher equivalent of Drew Butera. That being said, I'd like to get some insight on some relief pitcher prospects we have in the system. The first two that come to mind are Deolis Guerra and Cole DeVries. Guerra - Just how hard does this guy throw? He's been downright nasty so far in AA. He's had a cup of coffee with Rochester, as a starter I believe. How much longer does he have to keep up this pace to get up to AAA? Considering he's on the 40 man roster, and the last remaining piece of Billy Boner #2, isn't about time we see if we have a bona fide relief prospect on our hands? DeVries - He's been starting at Rochester, but has been a reliever in the past. Between last season and this season, he has had a solid strikeout to walk ratio, which is the extent of my stat-geekyness. Of course he's not on the 40-man, but he seems like a legitmate long relief prospect, or maybe Pat Neshek 2.0 (without the funky motion and a diploma from a douchier Minnesota high school:p). Thoughts?

    At this point, do you put Liriano in the bullpen and leave Swarzak in the rotation? Liriano could be an ok one inning guy. At this point, would they be any worse off with that setup?

    I got a baaaad feeling about this...... http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/si_online/covers/images/1988/0502_large.jpg

    Didn't Suarez get cut the other day?
  13. SirLoin
    I have to imagine this move is to free up space for a player that might be cut from another team, or to put a non-roster invitee on the 40-man. Maybe someone like Hollimon, Burroughs or Towles?

    Wasn't it Mackey that started this whole twitter war? Talk about pot calling the kettle black. And isn't it funny that the flames were fanned by other people who also happen to have gigs on the flagship station of the Twins Radio Network?

    What are the chances Baker starts the season on the DL?
