I'm a little surprised that Jeffers is ranked ahead of him, but I guess that when it comes to prospects, it's all in the eye of the beholder. I'm really excited to see Balazovic reach the majors. Personally, he seems to be the most likely Twins' pitching prospect to stay a starter in the bigs. I hope that it all works out for him.

Is there a chance that he rides a motorcycle to the mound to the song "Wild Thing"?

Here is an excerpt from the live chat from mlbtraderumors today: I tend to agree with him. Signing Marwin might have more impact the next few years than this year, but we clearly have the room this year for his salary. With so many potential holes in the lineup starting next year, a little protection would be a good thing.

If the Twins are serious about competing next year, they need to sever ties with Blackburn. Cutting him will cost $5.5 million that's he's due next year, but at least the Twins would open up a spot on the 40 man roster. The same with Nishi. Why keep these two players on when they have no shot of helping the team? Especially if itt means exposing 2 prospects to the rule V draft?
