    Hopefully he will be in the shower before the first inning is over.

    That is indeed good news. Also, Escobar (part of the fruit of the Liriano trade) had a good game for Rochester.

    This makes it fairly difficult for us fans to complain, since we will never know for sure what was in Ryan's mind. I am still not happy about trading the Twins' highest ceiling pitcher to their most hated rival for two mediocre prospects. I think that it was a mistake not to give Lirano one more start, in the hope that another golden egg might pop out of his ass. Unless you believe that at least one of the prospects has significant value, what would be the downside of giving Liriano another start? Losing two mediocre prospects? If Liriano leads the White Sox to the World Series, then words cannot express how sickening this will be.

    I agree with you. But I would ask you this. In a one game playoff against the damn Yankees, if you could bring only one of them, would you bring Blackburn or Liriano?

    No one seems to be logically disputing John's basic thesis that Ryan should have rolled the dice by giving Liriano another start. If Liriano pitched a bad game, then the downside would be not getting two C level prospects (or maybe getting only one of them). But if Liriano could have a good game, then maybe the Twins might have received a B or B+ prospect from someone, preferably not the White Sox. Also, there is a fundamental difference between Liriano and Blackburn, which is that Liriano can be virtually unhittable when he has his act together. Liriano has a very high upside. And I suspect that no one approached the Twins wanting Blackburn. One thing that I like about this thread is that we will eventually KNOW who was correct. If Liriano pitches well tonight and thereafter, then there will be vindication for those who did not like the trade. But if Liriano stinks tonight and thereafter, then there will be vindication for those who are happy about trading him to an arch rival for seemingly mediocre prospects. For the record, I would rather have let him have tonight's start. If he stunk, then I would have rather run him through waivers in August than trading him for two bags of balls. By August there could be some pretty hungry teams out there and even if he could not clear waivers enough to get a decent prospect, this would not be much worse than relieving the hated White Sox of two of their weaker prospects.

    I think that this might hurt New Britain -- losing Benson and getting Ray.

    Thanks for another excellent report.

    Thanks for posting this.

    Nice prediction!

    Great article! I hope that the Twins are giving Deduno good coaching. It appears that he might have a very high upside if he can throw enough strikes.

    Another great report, and I always love those links to the box scores. Thanks for doing this.

    After looking at the writeup on Hernandez on the Sox website, I now feel a little better. He is listed there as the Sox's 20th best prospect, and they say that he can throw in the low 90's. If he can improve his breaking ball, he could be valuable, especially if Parker is willing to do an article breaking down what he is doing wrong. Note that you have to click the right arrow on the Sox website to get to him.

    For fun I just looked at a White Sox fansite. As you can see for yourself, they don't seem very concerned about losing the two players that the Sox gave up in this trade.
  15. glunn
    It is sounding like they got nothing of value, but only time will tell.

    Isn't there some protocol for disclosing injuries? And if the Twins' renowned medical staff is telling Ryan that someone is hurt, that might not be the most reliable information.
  18. glunn
    Til I finally died, which started the whole world living, Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.
  19. glunn
    Well said. I am not even going to bother to set the DVR for tomorrow's game.
  20. glunn
    I still harbor some hope that Ryan and the scouts see some potential in at least one of these jamooks and that they prove to be correct.
  21. glunn
    As an extra added bonus, Duensing is starting tomorrow. How is this going to feel later in the season if Liriano no hits the Twins?
  22. glunn
    Hopefully Ryan sees potential value in at least one of these guys and I pray that he is correct.

    If this is true, then I think they should have kept Liriano. I see nothing good about this trade.

    Royals lost today. If the Twins win this game, then the Royals will be the sole occupiers of the cellar.
