Scott Diamond has a much higher chance of being in the Twins rotation that Hendriks (right or wrong). Hendriks seems like a guy that the Twins just don't like how he pitches and will need some to...

Why is it a hard decision? Why can't you just dump Ramirez in favor of Borbon, and let Borbon be the bench guy for a while? When Mastroianni is healthy, then you have to make a decision about...

Mlbtraderumors says a trade is extremely unlikely and he will be going to waivers. If there was any interest in him at all from the Twins a week ago, you have to think that interest has grown in the...

Borbon is at least as good, in general, as Ramirez (if not, then Ramirez wouldn't be a minor league free agent while Borbon is someone multiple teams seem to want on their 40 man roster).
Borbon...

Last year, it was May 17th before the Twins won their second series. By that time they were 10 games out of first place. It's mostly dumb luck that they did that in the first week of the season...

I missed the end of the game, but my first thought when looking over how the game ended was "the piranhas are back".

You won't have any voice left for screaming at the bullpen after screaming at the starters this year.

I can't say that I love this bullpen, but I'm thrilled to not have Burnett in it. The top 5...

I'm very hesitant of extending Morneau. There's too many age & injury & decline questions to make it worth signing him to a big contract. There's some hidden things like just how terrible he is...

Matt Capps is a better pitcher than Alex Burnett. Both drive me crazy, but Capps is just better. If they seriously think Burnett is in the running for a spot, then I'd absolutely take him back.

They could always trade some of those guys for some pitching. I only see about 3 no-question #1 starters in the minors...we'll need a couple more. Otherwise, I guess we'll have to be satisfied with...

We're only a few days into games, but Rosario is getting more playing time than I would have ever guessed. With the middle infield up for grabs, I would expect the main 4 guys to get most of the...

If they don't have to give up anything to get him, I'd absolutely take him. If they need to trade something to get him, I don't know if I'd give up much. Probably the same for Elliot Johnson or any...

There's an impossibly high level of other factors involved to make that a useful stat, but I wonder what that stat is for Butera. That's kind of the real nut of the issue, if you remove all the...

An interesting angle with Sanchez is that he is a legitimately good hitter even if he can't play defense. The best case scenario is that he's healthy enough to play regularly and he's a big...

Of all the free agent starters on the market, I think Pelfrey and Correia were the worst two that I expected Twins would be interested in. They go both of them, and not even all that cheaply. I...

I don't have any sort of hate for Punto, but it sort of brings up the question of what other players are out there that the Twins could bring in (cheaply) to add some depth and flexibility. I...

Nothing good to say, especially for that price. Give me Feldman, Baker, McCarthy, Lannan, Jurrjens, a trade for a surplus Dodger pitcher, or almost any cheap other option that is or has been out...

I've got as much confidence in Nick Blackburn as I do in Mike Pelfrey. Devries, Pavano or Deduno as well. Pelfrey has had one decent year in the last 4, and was pitching in the NL at that, and no...

It's more like a low risk, decent reward situation. He makes a lot more sense today than he did a week ago, and I'd probably make the offer to him. If he hits .250 and gives them some depth in the...

Rick Ankiel could make sense, if no one else offers him a guaranteed a starting job. He could plausibly win a starting job, platoon with Mastroianni, or be a bench player/pinch hitter.

If it's a minor league deal, then it's fine. I wouldn't mind having him on the team if the need arose. But he's not really a short term solution to anything or a long term solution to anything.
...

Yes, but it could also mean TR might want to sign better starters first and see what money he has left before filling out the bottom of the rotation. It would limit his options.

I'm no Butera fan, but I don't really see the point in dumping him right now. If the 40 man roster was full it would make sense. But he's a super-2 backup catcher who can't even hit .200.....he's...

I bet the Twins will end up with one non-tendered pitcher, such as Jurrjens, Lannan, or Hochevar, etc. I wouldn't be all that excited about all of them, but there are some guys that aren't...

Heads will explode!
