    Cameron Bedrosian (RHP) was a 1st round pick in 2010 for the Angels. He missed the 2011 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He is currently playing for the Cedar Rapids Kernals (A- Midwest League). From MLB.com: Another pitcher on the Kernals is Joe Melioris, a 6'11" 270 pound RH relief pitcher. Obviously, he wouldn't be the main piece in a trade, but he could be a fun throw-in.

    I listed a few here.

    Good for Livan. He's 53 strikeouts short of 2,000 for his career.

    According to Baseball America, the Twins have signed 33rd round pick Kaleb Merck, RHP.

    He could take Anthony Slama's spot in the Rochester bullpen. If the organization is planning on trading a few of their current relievers for A-AA players, it would be best to load up Rochester with pitchers who could potentially help the Twins this season and 2013.

    Does Johan Santana for Jared Camp count? They were both minor leaguers at the time of the trade.

    Game-Winner off Thornton (DEEP TO RIGHT!) 2010.08.17 Flag Pole HR 2010.09.06 Delmon: Ohhh! 2011.07.17 (look for Delmon's reaction starting at 0:47) I really liked watching him play for the Twins.

    I've always been a fan, so I wouldn't mind seeing the Twins give him a shot as a part-time DH vs LHP. Doumit and Morneau have struggled against LHP this season.

    UPDATE: Gaub was claimed by the St. Louis Cardinals.
  13. benhertz
    UPDATE: The Rangers designated Gaub for assignment.

    If Michael continues to struggle offensively in Ft. Myers, should the Twins send him to Beloit and promote Rosario?

    Maybe Hicks can pitch a few games in winter ball.

    Any updates on Pavano's shoulder? The only info I could find was from Yahoo Sports saying his next scheduled start is Friday in Cleveland. And no, I'm not bumping this thread because Travis Blackley gave up 1 ER in 5 innings against the Twins. I want to wear my Pavstache t-shirt with pride.

    A few tweets from his twitter account, @kgib44: May 15: May 20:

    Now would be a good time to remove him from the 40-man roster, since his stock is so low. I believe they have 1 open spot, so it's probably not a big deal.

    Gaub was a teammate of Cole DeVries at the University of Minnesota.
  20. benhertz
    Maybe the Twins should put Pavano on the 15-day disabled list to rest his shoulder. The Giants recently DFA LHP Travis Blackley. The Twins could claim him and have him (or Anthony Swarzak if he's next in line) start 2-3 games while Pavs is on the DL. If he's pitches poorly, they can always DFA him, like they did with Matt Maloney, Sean Burroughs, and Clete Thomas.

    Let's all add "Parmelee" to our spell-check dictionaries. This way we'll only see the squiggly red line under the "Parmalee" spelling, and we'll correct ourselves before clicking the Post Reply button.

    Debbie Downer told me the Twins might be able to pick up a supplemental draft pick for Capps. (Jokingly holding a grudge)

    The left/righty splits doesn't take into account home/away splits. Is there any way to find out Weaver's vs-lefties (at home) stats vs. vs-lefties (away) stats? I think Span is just trying to bring up the fact it's hard to pick up the ball from a 6'7" pitcher who throws on the 3rd base side of the mound and also throws across his body in a field that has light-colored rocks in the backdrop.

    Gardy seemed pretty upset with Matt Maloney last night, so I could see Maloney and Jeff Gray (more walks than strikeouts) getting designated for assignment. Liam Hendriks needs more time in AAA. I see the Twins bringing up only two pitchers, most likely Jeff Manship and Scott Diamond, since they are on the 40-man roster already. Kyle Waldrop could be another possibility, once he completes his rehab assignment. For batters, Clete Thomas is most likely to be DFA, due to his inability to make contact. I don't know who the Twins will want to bring up to replace him.
