Sometimes, you stumble on a guy you never expected. Right place, right time in his career, etc. He has vastly disappointed in his brief trial with the Twins as a starter, but I find myself intrigued by Turley nonetheless. His control at the ML level has been poor, to say the least. And there is a big difference between AAA and the Majors...but still...he shows decent enough velocity with a potentially good/very good curve, could another shot, a different role in the bullpen, lead to a a real find? I'd really like to find out.

 

200% agree. Even as a long guy with potential to ascend, he should get another shot.

Three months ago, Turley was AA org filler, now he's gotten a few starts in the majors and remains on the 40-man. My guess is that org filler guys don't get the same coaching. It's been only three months, so there's been a lot to learn, and he seems to be bouncing back. I have to imagine he'll be back to the majors and more successful the second time.

He's not taking a train. He can be in Los Angeles tonight.

he needs someone to ride hard and put away wet. Haley needs to come up and be on the immediate schedule

There you go

There you go

the point is, if you wear out Haley you are continuing to be hamstrung because he can't be sent to the minors

Molitor will be shorthanded tonight, and they bring up 2 relievers, 1 move has been made would need a second to bring up 2.

"Short start"?  Why?--to save his arm for another game?!  Let him pitch until he says:  "That's it.  I quit--forever."

I seem to recall years ago Breslow saying that if /when his career in baseball was over, he would think about going to medical school. That was quite a while ago ... I wonder if he has those same thoughts.
