January 22, 201412 yr There is no way that Samuel Deduno, Scott Diamond and Vance Worley will not get claimed if passed through waivers, so they are not really part of the Rochester rotation competition. LHPs Pat Dean and Logan Darnell (who were at Rochester at the end of 2013) and RHP Virgil Vasquez who pitched for Rochester in 2013. Add Gilmartin & Johnson to Dean & Darnell and the Twins all of the sudden have 4 lefties (even if you exclude Diamond) ahead of Albers.
January 22, 201412 yr Is it just me, or does Albers look like he could be Justin Morneau's little brother?

January 22, 201412 yr All Canadians look the same to me. I doubt anyone, even you, would confuse Riza Santos with Bill Shatner.

January 22, 201412 yr Great points in Phil Miller's Strib blog: http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/blogs/241358231.html Albers is 27, and won't be eligible for free agency until he's 34. According to his agent, Blake Corosky, Albers had never made over $25k a year in pro ball, with the exception of last season. A year in Korea guarantees financial stability for him, and his family. The kid can come back in 2015, when the Twin's log jam of starting pitchers might be broken up. It's hard to see the downside on this deal, except if you were looking forward to seeing Albers pitch for Rochester in 2014.
