Great Job Security.

The Twins announced today catcher Drew Butera and infielder Michael Hollimon were optioned to Rochester leaving only 31 active players left in camp. Opening day in Baltimore is only six days away and more roster decisions will be made soon. It appears reliever Alex Burnett could find himself on the roster again because of injuries. Perhaps no other player in recent memory has job security like that of Burnett. Critics keep telling us he is young (24), has great stuff, but just needs to work on s

Twins projected lineups

The 25 man roster is coming into focus. Assuming that all of the relevant position players are healthy, one might wonder what the lineup is going to be and what it should be vs. RH and LH. I am not going to figure out what Gardy is planning on doing, but given the likely 25-man roster (Burroughs, not Butera) perhaps this is what they should be:   vs. RH: 1. Span (CF) 2. Carroll (SS) 3. Mauer © 4. Morneau (DH) 5. Willingham (LF) 6. Doumit (RF) 7. Parmelee (1B) 8. Valencia (3B) 9. Casilla (2B)   W

T-Hunt: Is he "Misremembering things"?

Here is something interesting about game 2 of the 2004 Division Series against the Yanks:   CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman, the longtime Sports Illustrated baseball writer, talked to Hunter and Michael Cuddyer about the Yankees’ hold on the Twins. Hunter, while getting the situation slightly wrong (the Twins weren’t trailing by a run, the score was tied), said that someone on the bench was asked to pinch hit for Kubel but declined.   On the bench at the time were catcher/first baseman Matthew LeCro

Twins About to Make Major Moves

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BKtuV2B9hr8/T3Yn1MWTiUI/AAAAAAAAA0o/3fD4mX7yvXM/s400/20111107_terry-ryan_33.jpg Twitter and the Blogosphere broke with the news today that the Twins had acquired Matt Rizzotti from the Phillies for "cash considerations". This move is in lieu of the minor leagues being one first baseman short now that Chris Parmelee is likely to break camp with the Twins due to his inspired play that's carried over since late last year.   The bigger news however, is what's to come.     A

The Chance To Be Great

The only thing more wonderful than a summer in full swing is the very promise of summer. And at no time is that promise more anticipated or electric than on Opening Day. On Opening Day, all those warm nights you'll spend at the ballpark beneath the bright lights and dark sky are like a cold beer not yet tasted; each sip is craved and full of sweet, calming booze. And while even the most bitter beer will be gladly glugged on a hot day in July, there is almost nothing so bad about a lousy baseball

Tempered Expectations for Parmelee

[Originally published at Twins Fan From Afar]   Chris Parmelee should be fine. He looked great last September in a Twins uniform, and was a bright spot during an otherwise dismal time. Of the three prospects called up -- Parmelee, Joe Benson and Liam Hendriks -- Parmelee looked the most ready for the show. After watching several Rock Cats games last year in person, I was a little surprised that Parmelee, and not Benson, looked better in his time as a Twin, but that is why I don't get paid to do

Spring Training 2012 (Day One)

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9AWuzukRAjw/T3U98ygxs2I/AAAAAAAAA0c/35CeOK2Rl0g/s400/DSC00727.JPG Well, nothing better than Spring Training to get me back here to write something.   Despite arriving in Florida on Wednesday in time to head straight from the airport to catch the game against the Phillies, I decided to head down to Naples, get some Cuban food, and just relax on the beach instead.     Thursday, however, I got up early and went to check out camp first thing. I got there at 9am, before th

Friday Links-N-Thinks

Original post from North Dakota Twins Fan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first two games of the season have been complete and I can honestly say I have yet to watch a single pitch. One of the problems was that both of the contests were not on any major channel and the other issues was the games were being played very early in the morning. I still don't know how I feel about the first two games of the season being played in Japan. It is great to spread the game to international markets but I love when all o

July Trade Deadline-- What if's. A look at options for 2013 MN Twins.

I admit this is kind of ridiculous looking at this before the beginning of the season, but being bored after watching a horrible Golden Gophers basketball game, I wanted to take a look at the Twins options if they are out of the race and looking to unload, what that looks like, and what are the options for 2013.   Free Agents for the 2012 season for the Minnesota Twins   Carl Pavano (37) Scott Baker (31) 9.25M option Fransicso Liriano (29) Ryan Doumit (32) Jason Marquis (34) Matt Capps (29) 6M

Zips projections from ESPN 70 wins 92 losses.

70 wins 92 losses was the consensus on the simulations from Zips. ESPN, and the bloggers from SweetSpots blogs have the prediction of the AL Central:   Tigers Royals Indians Twins White Sox   WHY AM I OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE TWINS THIS YEAR? SOMEBODY HELP ME? HELP ME TO THE FACT THAT I AM NOT THAT MUCH OF A HOMER TO THINK THE TWINS WILL WIN MORE THAN 75 GAMES, AND BE BETTER THAN THE ROYALS? Or am I crazy!?!?!?!?   The Twins are going to score runs, I think that is obvious if the Twins c

Morneau DHing: Fine by this Fan

[Originally published at Twins Fan From Afar]   To say that Justin Morneau has been locked in the past few games is an understatement. How does 7-for-14 with 3 home runs and a double sound? If this was the regular season, we'd be beginning a campaign for Morneau to win the AL Player of the Week Award. Although these were only Spring Training games, his offensive performance was meaningful in the larger scheme of things. By "larger scheme," of course, I'm referring to Morneau's health. We learn

Replacements could fill back end of the rotation

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m96du2wPpag/T3PdczZud3I/AAAAAAAABJw/4_LJaqtc3E8/s320/AnthonySwarzak.jpg The Twins went into the start of this spring with a little different feel in regards to their starting rotation. Last season there was a battle between six or seven players to fill the five roles needed to complete the starting rotation at the beginning of the year. This year the Twins seemed set with five players penciled in to occupy the rotation when the team would break camp for the start of th

New Britain Rockcats Projection

I apologize for the mistakes I made on the Rochester roster, but I will try to do a better job in New Britain. With that being said the New Britain roster is more difficult because it is more fluid. Alot of the New Britain roster will be determined by what happens with the Rochester roster. Guys that don't make the Rochester roster, but that still hang around will likely go the New Britian. FYI if you think I got a lot wrong on the Rochester Roster you haven't see anything yet just because w
