    Terry Ryan has his work cut out for him trying to move Pavano before the trade deadline. Unless a team's rotation is completely wiped out by injuries, who would want him?
  2. NorthwestTwinsFan
    We shouldn't have to dig through advanced statistics to find the hidden value of a guy making $23 million a year. Do you think Rangers fans have to consult Fan Graphs to tell you how good Josh Hamilton is?

    This is not the work of a professional journalist. The following are some passages that I found rather amateurish: - Trading a perfectly capable, young, everyday catcher candidate in Wilson Ramos for pedestrian reliever Matt Capps was another great idea, because when you have two good catchers you have to sell one for Savezzzz or something. - because when it comes to rebuilding the Twins, you're kind of screwed. - The Twins' trades … haven't been so fresh. - Justin Morneau is just now getting back to hitting homers, after having half his 2010 wiped out, then hitting like Alexi Casilla's evil … um … Twin last year. - more meatballs than a Lady and the Tramp marathon. If you picked him up in fantasy after he shut out the A's for six innings Wednesday, please head straight for your nearest mental institution. I'm not saying that any of his points are wrong, but this is language one usually expects from a high school sophomore, not the writer of a (somewhat) major publication.

    Absolutely. I'll take an 0-3 from the 8-hitter if it means 6 shutout innings from the starter.
  5. NorthwestTwinsFan
    I think there's a good chance we'll see Butera behind the plate for Liriano's next start.
  6. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Willingham hit that ball really, really far.
  7. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Nice atbat by Revere. Let's see if he can wreak havoc on the basepaths now.
  8. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Huge double play. Liriano badly needed that.
  9. NorthwestTwinsFan
    That looked like vintage Liriano in the second inning. Hopefully he can keep it up.
  10. NorthwestTwinsFan
    No worries.....Willingham's got it covered.
  11. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Yeah, that was pretty sad. One would think that a big leaguer who can't hit the ball 300 feet would be a pretty darn good bunter.
  12. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Maybe Ben Revere should work on his bunting.
  13. NorthwestTwinsFan
    I know I shouldn't criticize Gardy, because for all his faults, he's still a much better manager than I could ever be. But some of his decisions do make me scratch my head.
  14. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Atta boy, Capps! It wasn't pretty, but he got the job done.
  15. NorthwestTwinsFan
    I would love to hear Gardenhire's explanation for why Gray was pitching the 8th inning of a tie game.
  16. NorthwestTwinsFan
    He DFA'd Jeff Gray in this scenario, opening up a 25th spot.
  17. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Great idea by Span. When the opponent's pitcher and first baseman are both morbidly obese, you have a good job of getting on with a drag bunt.
  18. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Walters is living dangerously, but so far has been able to work his way out of trouble.
  19. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Plouffe had no chance to get to first with Porcello diving in front of him like that.
  20. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Ugh....Mauer and Morneau both smoked the ball that inning but they hit it right at the outfielders.
  21. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Haha that's true.
  22. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Wow, Span gets a hit for that? A big league second baseman makes that play 49 out of 50 times.
  23. NorthwestTwinsFan
    Until Twins starters can start consistently getting through 5 innings, carrying 13 pitchers is pretty much a no-brainer. I'm not going to lose any sleep over their decision to let Komatsu go.
  24. NorthwestTwinsFan
    This has to be the team's mindset. He has virtually zero value as a reliever, so the only hope the team has of moving him is if he shows glimpses of being a competent starter again. It's not likely to happen, but it's worth a try with this being a lost season.
  25. NorthwestTwinsFan
    It's just been reported that he's been moved back to the rotation and will start Wednesday. Unbelievable.
