    Ervin Santana's numbers pre-Twins would be considered quite average. Probably even below average.

    This

    Couldn't resist.

    Well, Stewart was pulled after only 70 pitches. Though he had already walked 4 at that point.
  5. yarnivek1972
    lol, how could it possibly be someone that "most of us" on twins daily AREN'T familiar with? He'd have to be like the Twins 50th ranked prospect or something.

    Thrylos: Re: Haley: He is not tradeable by the Twins.They have to return him to Boston for that to happen. Correct me if I am wrong but did the Twins not acquire Johan Santana by trading with The Marlins, who selected him from Houston in the rule 5 draft? How would this be different other than it being in season?
  7. yarnivek1972
    Why not? I think largely what Haley needs is a chance to get consistent work. That's hard to do with a team on the edge of contending. He might blossom, he might blow up. Seems to me the perfect comp for a 2 month rental of a mediocre starter.
  8. yarnivek1972
    Justin Haley would make all the sense in the world.
  9. yarnivek1972
    Yes, almost impossible with the off days. Twins are more likely to skip someone than use 6.
  10. yarnivek1972
    Oh, yeah, forgot about rookie ball. That will make it interesting. He could theoretically start next Tuesday in LA. He threw 84 pitches last night. Of course, as of now, Colon has that start. I don't know what else the Twins might do. It wouldn't make sense to send Mejia down. Maybe if Gibson has another clunker Saturday, Haley takes his spot. The Twins have a couple off days yet this month, so someone figures to get skipped. Maybe they will just plunk Haley in the long relief role and send out Pressly. I've been saying for awhile now that sooner or later Matt Belisle is not going to survive a roster move. I still feel that way. Haley is coming back. Hector is coming back. Someone will have to go. One would assume that Gee will eventually get a look to.
  11. yarnivek1972
    At this point the Twins can keep Haley down on rehab until August 3. I suspect they will. What they do at that point is anyone's guess. I suppose it might depend on if Colon (and Ervin and Santiago for that matter) is still around. I presume they are stretching him out to make some starts.
  12. yarnivek1972
    Baby steps.
  13. yarnivek1972
    My strategy: start by releasing Breslow and Belisle and option Pressly. Call up Busenitz, Turley and Rucinski - he's earned another shot IMO. In his last 10 appearances for Rochester, he's pitched 16 1/3 IP, given up 9 hits and 0 runs. That's not 0 earned runs. 0 actual runs. Last time he gave up a run in AAA was May 24. Hildenberger should be tried in some higher leverage situations. Today was a good start to that. It was a 5 run lead, but it's still the Yankees and the 9th inning is always a different challenge for pitchers. Or, it can be. I think Duffey will probably be okay, but he needs his workload reduced. It's apparent that he isn't as sharp as he was early on. Busenitz and Rucinski can be the low leverage relievers until they show otherwise. Not sure what Turley will bring to the team as a reliever, but I definitely want to find out. At some point Tonkin might make his way back. Perhaps September. Earlier if the need arises. He also hasn't been scored on in a whlie - June 14 to be exact. Maybe it's just my philosphy. I'm a "see what's in the fridge first before I call for pizza delivery" guy. Sometimes, something better can be there just waiting to be savored.
  14. yarnivek1972
    Even if he pitched the rest of the season, he would only make maybe 12 more starts. 8 wins? He knows you have to get through 5 with a lead to have a chance - something he has not done in two months. I seriously doubt he can do that 8 more times ever let alone 8 more times in the next 10 weeks. I'm sure that's what is playing in his head.
  15. yarnivek1972
    Gee, what will the Twins do now with the rotation? I guess the question is how many starts will Colon be given? They gave Tepesch one. Turley 3. I figure they give Colon 4 or 5.
  16. yarnivek1972
    Ssshhhhh. Not so loud. Maybe the Astros won't notice.
  17. yarnivek1972
    Problem was third time through came in the 5th inning. Meaning he had plenty of baserunners the first two trips too. He just pitched out of it.
  18. yarnivek1972
    I suspect the Twins added a pitcher BECAUSE Colon was starting. You can't put your manager in THAT position IMO. I certainly don't give them a pass for it.
  19. yarnivek1972
    Because Paul Molitor wrote his name on the lineup card. Any further comment risks moderator action.
  20. yarnivek1972
    **** gamecast
  21. yarnivek1972
    Ok, I'll ask. Mauer went first to third on an infield groundout? How?
  22. yarnivek1972
    According to gamecast, the second pitch to Sano was down the middle, for a ball.
  23. yarnivek1972
    Well, they went to their positions on the field anyway.
  24. yarnivek1972
    Who was on the mound the last two innings and what did he do with Matt Belisle?
  25. yarnivek1972
    More of an indictment of a 3 man bench. Lot easier to sit a guy when you have 5 reserves.
