Today i thought i would write about the Twins Starting Pitching situation. There are alot of question marks on who is going to be in the rotation, who is going to be in the bullpen and who is going to get sent down.
Scott Baker- He is the biggest question mark not because of his talent but because he pulled a back muscle. Right when he was getting ready to come back from that he came down with the flu. Right now he could only throw 50 pitches and that wouldnt cut it so he needs to get his work in and he is running out of time to do it so its 50/50 that he will be in there and 50 percent he will be in the DL.
Livan Hernandez- He has been absoultly awful this spring and he keeps saying that he will be fine when the season starts well i hope so.
Boof Bonser- He has been the most consistant starter this spring and looks like losing that weight has made all the difference.
Francisco Liriano- Its obvious that he is not the same pitcher he was in 2006 yet. But the question is would he be better served learning on the job and working with Rick Anderson every day or stay in Florida for a month and working on his velocity and slider. I think the latter would be better.
Kevin Slowey- He started off really slow this spring getting hit all over the park his first few starts but he has been really solid his last 2 starts and if he keeps it up he will go north.
Philip Humber- He just had his first start of the spring and it was pretty impressive and he was impressive in relief roles and i think he will make the team as a reliever or as a starter if baker and/or liriano doesnt start the season up here.
Nick Blackburn- He has been ok and if they need 2 starters i think he would be one of them but i dont think he has done enough and probably headed to Rochester.
Glen Perkins- Like Blackburn he has been ok just not good enough in my opinion to make the team unless the injured pitchers dont go north.
Brian Bass- He has been very impressive and he is out of options so he is the wildcard that could take Philip Humber's spot so he is one you need to keep your eye on for the rest of the spring.

I hope people are not getting to excited about Francisco Liriano's struggles this spring he will be fine eventually. But from what i have seen and what i have heard he is just not ready to help the major league team yet. I think the best thing for him is go to the minors to start the season and when he can get his velocity up a little bit and throw his slider then bring it up. I think the worst thing the twins could do is bring him up north before he is ready and have him get shelled. His future is limitless so be patient with him and give him some time in the minors.
The question is if you send Liriano to the minors who do you put in his spot in the rotation. The leading contenders are Blackburn and Humber. I would of said Perkins but i think he is going to the bullpen to start the season. Tommorrow should be interesting since Philip Humber is getting a start against the Orioles. He has had good stats against backups so it will be interesting to see how he does against starter players. My personal opinion is he is a better pitcher but until after tommorrow Blackburn is in the lead and it will be a battle to the end of spring.

Here we are less than 3 weeks away from the season opener and i believe the roster is starting to take shape. I watched the game today and i must say im a little concerned about Livan Hernandez the more i see him the more i think he wont be able to get American League hitters out with his 83 mile per hour fastball. There is a reason he has spent his whole career in the National League its because they are lesser hitters and free outs with the pitchers. I hope im wrong but i think he will be gone by the all star break.
Other than that i have been impressed with some players this spring and there is some battles that will come down to the last week but i think we have a pretty good idea who is going to win those jobs and ill break it down for you.
2b- I think it is pretty clear Brenden Harris is going to be the starting 2nd baseman. I know he hasnt hit alot this spring but Punto is much more valuable as a utility man cause he can play anywhere and i think Harris will hit.
CF- This is a little more clouded since Denard Span has had a pretty good spring,but i think Carlos Gomez brings to much to the plate. His speed changes the game for the twins. Just look at the situation starting with his first at bat he bunted for a hit, stole 2nd and they threw it into center to go to 3rd and scored on a mauer hit. if he can get on base 40 percent of the time he will steal atleast 50 bases this year. The difference between the 2 is Gomez is a better baserunner and better centerfielder with a stronger arm.
5th starter job- The cream always come to the top and Kevin Slowey has really done well his last couple starts and if he keeps it up he will take the 5th starter job. Blackburn and Perkins are waiting in the wings if should falter and one of them will end up being the 12th pitcher, but i would give the edge to Perkins because he would give us the 2 lefty's in the bullpen. Because Reyes is good but when he pitches to much he gets worn down and thats why we should keep perkins.
25th man- I think this battle is between Buscher and Garrett Jones and i would give the slight edge to Jones not only on performance and also because he is out of options and i think thats the best way to go.

I watched the Twins today and Kevin Slowey was very impressive today going 4 innings and giving up 2 hits and 1 run to take the lead for the 5th starter Job. Also Carlos Gomez was very impressive today going 3-4 with a HR and 2 stolen Bases. I know there are some people that might Disagree with me but i think Gomez is getting better and better every day and he should be the starting center fielder to start the season. If he is not ready you can send him down anytime and keep him out of Super 2 status. Denard Span has not done anything this spring to tell me that he should be in instead of Gomez. He has been solid but nothing spectacular and going into Spring Season i thought he had to beat out Gomez and i dont think he has done that. There are 13 games left this spring and whoever does better those 13 games should be the one who should be in center to start the season.
The more i think about what is best for the team if he continues to impress Glen Perkins should be in the bullpen and the 12th Pitcher with Humber and Blackburn starting at Rochester. Alot depends if Baker and Liriano start the season with the Twins.

Yesterday, Jesse Crain got hit by a line drive in the knee while pitching in a minor league game. Hopefully it is not serious and he can get back to pitching for twins very soon. The Twins lost a tough 3-1 game to the Orioles yesterday in which Nick Blackburn struggled in his first start this spring for the Twins. That 5th starter position has not been very good this spring with none of the contenders really pitching very good. just look at the stats:
Kevin Slowey: 2 starts 1-0 8.10 era 6.2 innings with 15 hits and 6 runs
Glen Perkins: 2 starts 1-1 6.75 era 8.0 innings with 12 hits and 6 runs
Nick Blackburn: 1 start 0-1 3.86 7.0 innings with 3 hits and 3 runs
Right now i would say the favorite is Blackburn but its way too early to say because none of them have really earned the spot and they each will still have 2-3 starts left to win that job so it will be interesting who will take it.
In center Field it looks very similiar to the 5th starter job that nobody is ready to take the position. Carlos Gomez is only hitting .148 while Denard Span is hitting a robust .227. Neither one of them have done anything to seperate themselves and i think the twins should seriously consider going with Craig Monroe in Center and keep Jason Pridie as the 4th outfielder because its pretty obvious the other 2 are not ready to be in the major leagues right now. They would have Monroe's bat in the lineup and they could replace him with Pridie late in games for defense if thats what they want to do i think its worth considering.
Today, the Twins face Pittsburgh in Fort Myers today with Boof Bonser making his 3rd of the spring. He has probably had the best spring of all our pitchers so hopefully he can keep it going today and someone will step up in center field.
Kevin Slowey: 2 starts 1-0 8.10 era 6.2 innings with 15 hits and 6 runs
Glen Perkins: 2 starts 1-1 6.75 era 8.0 innings with 12 hits and 6 runs
Nick Blackburn: 1 start 0-1 3.86 7.0 innings with 3 hits and 3 runs

The Twins lost a tough one yesterday to Boston 12-7 in which Carlos Gomez went o-3 to lower his batting average to .148. Im getting more and more convinced that he should start the season in Rochester. I dont know if Denard Span is the answer in center but i think he is the best option for the time being. If Gomez goes down and shows he can do it you can bring him back up in may and its no big deal. I just think it would be a mistake to push Gomez and thats what they would be doing if he starts the season with the Twins.
I was reading the Star Tribune today and i read an article by Patrick Reusse, and it made me think. I've read the star trib sports section religiously since i could read and i have read many of his articles and to be honest im sick and tired of the regativity in his articles. He never has anything good to say about anybody and he always says every sports teams in Minnesota suck and there is no hope. I understand he is trying to sell papers, but come on, the Twins are not as bad as he makes it out to be. I would be shocked to read anything good about the Twins in his column. Anyone have any comments on that article post them here.
Today the Twins travel to Fort Lauderdale to face the Baltimore Orioles with Nick Blackburn having a very import start for the Twins. The way it is now hes the favorite to be the 5th starter because he has been solid all spring and now he gets a chance to start and see how he does. Denard Span gets the start in center today hopefully its a sign of things to come

Francisco Liriano's 2nd start
Before anybody jumps to any conclusions when they see Liriano's line today keep in mind its his 3rd and 4th innings in 18 months. Granted he wasnt great today in 2+ innings today he gave up 4 hits and 3 runs with 2 walks and 1 strikeout. However, i believe its going to be a work in progress with him all year. I truly believe if your going to get him your going to get him in the first half of the season. I think by the end of the year he will be the same lights out pitcher he was in '06, but if you think he is going to be dominant right away your fooling yourself. Right now he is a #4 or 5 pitcher and just let him improve and improve because by the end of the season the patience will be rewarded and the man they call the Franchise will be back the way we remember him.

Today an interesting occurance happened when Gardy announced that Jason Pridie is out of the running for the starting cf job. I was really surprised by that because i thought he was having a decent spring. The battle now goes to Span vs Gomez which should be very interesting considering neither one is really hitting very good this spring with gomez only hitting .167 and Span .273. I think this could last until the last few days of spring training. I think Gomez is going to get the nod but i dont have alot of confidence in it with the way he has been hitting and his lack of effort at times.
Today in Fort Myers The Twins battle the Red Sox in the final battle for the Mayor's cup each team has won 2 games and this is the deciding game. Francisco Liriano gets his second start today vs Clay Buchholz. This is an important start for Liriano as he is trying to get a good feel for his slider and try to get his velocity up a bit. This should be a marquee pitching matchup for years to come because each has a very bright future in baseball. For the first time this spring the Twins have their regular lineup in and thats good news for Carlos Gomez. He gets the start today and if it means what i think it means i think he's in the lead to be the starting centerfielder on opening day.
Another announcement out of Twins camp is Livan Hernandez is more than likely going to be the starter on opening night. I dont have a problem with it because why put more pressure on the young guys when he has made 8 opening day starts and he understands the pressure. The big thing is after the first start every pitcher pitches every 5 days so there really is not an order. Lets get excited Twins fans because situations are being settled and we are getting closer and closer to opening day.

First off i want to give a shoutout to Seth Speaks he has a really interested article about the Cf battle from 7 different perspectives. Twins fans you should check it out its very interesting thing to read.
Yesterday the Twins won over the Marlins 4-2 with an ok start by Kevin Slowey. he pitched 3 innings and gave up 6 hits but no runs. A bad start yesterday probably would of eliminated him from any possibility of making the team. It wasnt great and he needs to really improve on that cause there are some guys that have been impressive this spring especially Blackburn and Humber so he needs to watch it.
Another guy that i have been really impressed with this spring is Randy Ruiz. He is a 30 year old career minor leaguer who just got to the Twins organization. His career says he will cool down but he is having quite a spring and if theres an injury dont be surprised to see him with the Twins some time this year.
Today the Twins face the Tampa Bay Rays with Livan Hernandez getting the start today. He needs to improve on his last start when he got shelled for 6 runs in 3 innings. Hopefully we will get some clarity on some of the other position battles going on.

Cf battle
The twins have an interesting decision coming up in the coming weeks with deciding between Carlos Gomez, Denard Span, and Jason Pridie. To be honest none of the three of done anything worth writing home about. Just look at the stats of the three.
Carlos Gomez .167 average with 3 rbi's,4 runs scored and 3 stolen bases
Denard Span: .214 average with 1 rbi's,3 runs scored and 2 stolen bases
Jason Pridie: .238 average with 3 rbi's,4 runs scored and 2 stolen bases
Just looking at the numbers none of them really have deserved to be iin the majors. But i think we would be best served to put Carlos Gomez out there everyday. The reasons i believe that is because of his speed. Speed doesnt go in a slump and he can bunt for hits and steal bases and he plays a good centerfield. I thought going into spring that it was his to lose and the other 2 guys really havent stepped up to take it away from him. There are still 3 weeks left and anything can still happen but those 2 need to start stepping up pronto.

All i am is a twins fan and i didnt ask anyone to visit my site. I just like to write what i think of the twins and whats going on. I am not an english major and if my grammer is a problem for you you probably should not be on my site im sure there are others that use better grammer. However if you want to hear Twins talk with a die hard Twin fans' perspective than by all means visit my site and enjoy cause im not going to change. I enjoy to write about the Twins and if some people have a problem with how i write thats their problem. Thats all i have to say about that.
In more exciting news the Twins visit the Florida Marlins today with Kevin Slowey taking the mound with nick blackburn, philip humber, and pat neshek in relief. Carlos Gomez is in the lineup today so hopefully he get a little more consistant at the plate and in his effort. Ill have more after the game.

A guy that not alot of people talk about with the hope that Francise comes back to form and Livian Hernandez can get some people out has been the emergence of Scott Baker to Ace status. I will admit myself i was starting to lose faith in him with his insistance to throw the high pitch. Just because it works in the minor leagues doesnt mean it is going to work up here cause the hitters are much better. But he finally listened to the coaches and last year put up a very solid year and i believe he is the most solid pitcher we have right now and deserves to start on opening day. It wasnt always good for him though he came up as a heralded prospect but bounced up and down from Rochester to the Twins and vice versa because seemed like he would dominate in Rochester and come up here and get drilled. Like i said something clicked for him last year and he had a very solid year and he's only 26 years old and has a bright future with the Twins. but as the can see it wasnt always easy for him look at the stats he put up.

2006 AAA5-4 2.67
twins5-8 6.37
2007 AAA 3-2 3.16
twins9-9 4.26
As you can see he has dominated the hitters in the minor leagues but wasnt able to put it together until last year where he had a solid year. But knowing him he can do so much better i expect a much better year this year i think he has a shot to win 15 games this year with a ERA in the 3's he reminds me so much of a young Brad Radke with better stuff. I think with all the adversity Scott has been through he will be a better pitcher for it and him and Francise will lead the twins back to the central division titles much like Radke and Santana did.
