Quality Starts and Nolasco's return

According to Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press, Ricky Nolasco will be making a rehab start in Cedar Rapids on Saturday. http://www.twincities.com/twins/ci_27945723/minnesota-twins-ricky-nolasco-set-rehab-assignment?source=rss If it is successful, he should be returning to the Twins. Will he take his place in the rotation or will they put Nolasco in the bullpen? After Pelfrey's 7 innings of shutout pitching last night, all 5 of the current starters have had a quality start.   If Molitor puts No

Hicks in AAA. Thomas stays in CF

Until Thomas stops hitting and/or Hicks starts hitting, I suggest that the Twins keep Hicks in AAA and keep Thomas in CF.

Starting Rotation

We all have seen pitchers that seemed to have difficulty in Spring Training, find their stuff once the season starts. We've see players hit for high average and then can't hit above .200 in real games.   If we go by Spring Training results so far, the starting rotation would be:   Sam Deduno Cole DeVries PJ Walters Liam Hendriks   ahead of Worley, Pelfrey & Correia.   Wouldn't that be a wonderment.

2013 Twins Starters Predictions

2013 Twins Starters Predictions   These predictions are based only on my gut feelings. I post these here now   Worley - Will be fighting to recover from surgery. will largely be ineffective   Pelfrey - Will be fighting to recover from surgery. will largely be ineffective   Correia - A waste of money and time   Diamond - Will be fighting to recover from surgery. will largely be ineffective. May be a 1 year wonder   Diduno - The ace of the staff. May win 15+ games   Devries - Solid and unspec

5 BIG If's

IF Liriano had pitched like we know he can ... IF Baker had not been hurt and pitched like the Baker we know ... IF Pavano had not been hurt and was the innings eater he was in 2010 ... IF Blackburn had recovered his touch ... IF Slowey had been the pitcher we thought he was ...   We would win the pennant this year and maybe even last year,   Instead we have 5 minor league starting pitchers and only one came up though the Twins organization. (not counting De Vries)   Gardenhire Anderson &

Fitting 7 players into 6 positions

With the emergence of Chris Parmelee as a Major League quality hitter, someone recently commented that the Twins could easily fit 7 players into 6 positions. So I tested the theory.   If nobody is traded, the Twins have 7 players to use in 6 positions. Mauer C, 1b, DH Doumit C, LF RF DH Morneau 1b, DH Willingham LF,RF,DH Span CF,RF,LF Revere LF, CF, RF Parmelee LF, RF DH -------- Lineup 1   Maurer C Doumit DH Morneau 1b Willingham LF Span CF Revere RF   Bench - Parmelee   ============== Lineu
