LaVelle Neal posted the Twins starting rotation as they come out of the All Star break:

 

Friday - Francisco Liriano

Saturday - Cole De Vries

Sunday - Brian Duensing

Monday - Scott Diamond

Tuesday - Sam Deduno

 

That's how they come out of the break. Thoughts?

 

What are your thoughts on how the rotation will play out over the course of the second half? Will Nick Blackburn and Liam Hendriks get back to the Twins? If so, when? How about Carl Pavano? Will any other starters get an opportunity, such as Aaron Thompson or BJ Hermsen?

I expect this revised starting rotation to last what? maybe one turn?

 

This is a pitching staff in flux. I expect a number of people to get opportunities over the remainder of the season -- unless, of course, the guys listed above turn in consistently good performances. And if that happens, then there isn't anything to gripe about.

Hopefully Pavano is a waiver deal.

 

I'm pretty sure Hendriks will be back by early August. Look at that rotation. Those names are shudder-worthy.

 

You've got Scott Diamond, Trade Bait, Good Lefty Bullpen Guy, Some Other Guy, and What's His Face.

 

Not exactly confidence-inspiring.

The funny thing is, Scott Diamond, Some other Guy and What's his face all managed to get quality starts against the #1 ranking offense in Runs, Ave and OBP.

Baseball is a funny sport that way.

Agreed. As great as it would be to see them keep that up, the sensible part of me knows that they probably won't keep going with those types of performances.

 

A man can dream though...

Just saw this...don't think it's been posted yet. PJ Walters has been shut back down today due to shoulder inflammation after a bullpen session. He had an MRI that showed no structural damage. It doesn't sound season ending. Here's a quote from Walters,

"...I don't think I'm back at Square One or anything like that. I'll just kind of get it cranked back up. No big deal."
