I agree excellent analysis. Either he does well or we delay his arbitration clock. As a fan Hicks is the someone who I am looking forward to seeing. From double A to opening day against Verlander.

NOBODY could have seen Baker having elbow problems in the spring. that should read EVERYBODY should have seen Baker having elbow problems in the spring. It happens every spring. You can rip on the...

Didn't Gardy just say he wanted some pop off his bench. Here ya go. Would be some insurance if Morneau is traded and Parmelee not productive. Could DH occasionally- pinch hit for Florimon. Bruce...

A bench bat does make sense if you are going to have Florimon start at SS. I would not assume that gardy will part with Butera.While I like the idea of the minor league guys getting a chance, pinch...

Boras does not have the leverage he did last year. What is Appel going to do go to graduate school? He will sign for slot value. That being said he may be the 1st pick and get his money. If he is...

Twins fan walking through the desert. Almost ready to expire when he looks up and sees a mirage. Water - no Ice cold Grain Belt - No - It's the 2008 version of Rich Harden

Right after his last...

I don't think that the agent factors in as much on a player that is in the minors and you control when he comes up. As much as i would like to see him pitch, a couple years in the minors makes a lot...

I believe this is the biggest upgrade for the Twins. Steinbach developed into an excellent defensive catcher. The Twins were not good at throwing out base stealers last year. It will be better this...

I agree with you. I like every one of Ryan's moves except Correia. There is not one GM that gets every move right. Adding the second year was a bad move even if Correia pitches well. But I think it...

Sign Ugeth Urbina and put him in charge of the defense. I can see him chasing fielders around with his machete and gas can after yet another error.

Has anyone heard the expected price range for Aledmys Diaz? I still thinks he makes the most sense for middle infield help. I have no idea if he can play in the majors. If he can a young...

Span's last 3 years OBP - .331 .328 .342 Revere last year .333 Mastroianni .328
Minor leagues - Span OBP .355 Revere .383 Mastroianni .368
Mastroianni should steal more...

Has played some 3B in the minors. 115 games 280 chances 41 errors for an .854 fielding percentage.
Much better defensively at 1B- 556 games - 4955 chances 48 errors for a .990 fielding percentage

Dariel Alvarez, Aledmis Diaz officially free agents - MLB Daily Dish

The recent Cuban free agents Chapman and Cespedes have done very well. Alexei Rameriz, a former Cuban shorstop has been decent...

The Dodgers need a left handed reliever - Perkins for Zach Lee ?
Is a top pitching prospect worth your closer

I think this is a good risk. Pelfrey is young enough and has been durable in the past. I read a couple reports that his off speed stuff is not that good. Maybe Cuellar can help. I still look for a...

Now I have two reasons to root for Sanchez to sign with the Cubs. Get him out of our division and take a bidder away for Marcum

I was thinking of Gardy when they signed Correia and all I could think of was it's time for Hawk Harrelson - He Gone

These recaps are very much appreciated. Thanks for keeping them coming.
Where does Colabello fit in? He keeps hitting they have to give him a chance at some point don't they?

Here is what you willl hear about Hicks when he is sent down- He needs triple A AB's - we have three young centerfielders and we need Hicks to play everday - He needs to work on his __________ so we...

How about Doumit for Capuano. They could use him as a utility player. You know Crawford is going to miss some time

I would bet you could offer lower ranked prospects if you also took Santana back. Mets would probably love to include his $20+ million salary. They just extended Wright and owner has money trouble. ...

I would add Tyler Cloyd to that list. He pitched pretty well when he was called up last year

Apparently, John Manuel identified two guys who he thought were the top two on the board, both of which had that kind of stuff. Lara was one of them and Domingez(?) was the other. Neither was picked,...

Josh Hamilton

I hope the Twins select two players. You can look at them in the spring and try to work out a trade with the previous team that would allow you to keep them in the minors. If you...
