I'm going to the Mussels game on Saturday and looking forward to seeing him in person. He definitely looks promising. Between Lackey & Tait I think the Twins catching pool looks way better than it has for many years.

Article: Frankie's Final Start?
jpodratz1 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I think it's worth noting the fact that Liriano has done exceptionally well since Butera has been his personal catcher. Earlier in the season when Gardy wanted to start the year with 2 catchers (Mauer & Doumit), his ERA was over 9. They later called up Butera from AAA but Frankie was already in the bullpen by then. After being moved back to the starting rotation Drew has been his personal catcher and his ERA has been under 3. Yesterday they teamed Drew with Sam Deduno and it was Sam's best start by far since his call up. I realize Drew Butera is a problem offensively but he is an asset handling pitchers and with the current state of the rotation, that should not be overlooked.
