  2. 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 Nolasco in the rotation, who should Nolasco replace ?

  10. Starting Rotation

    · Thegrin · 03/21/2013 05:13 PM

    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.

  11. 2013 Twins Starters Predictions

    · Thegrin · 03/15/2013 03:48 AM

    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 unspectacular
     
    Hendriks- Surprises and improves as the season progresses.
     
    Gibson - Has an inconsistent year in AAA.
     
    Walters - Forced into the rotation and gives a steady performance.
     
    Perez - Surprisingly effective when pressed into the rotation.
     
    Swarzak - Sometimes effective. Sometimes not.
     
    Duensing- Forced into the rotation. Becomes a left handed force.
     
    Final starting 5
     
    Diduno
    Devries
    Duensing
    Walters
    Perez

  13. 5 BIG If's

    · Thegrin · 09/15/2012 08:12 PM

    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 & Terry Ryan have done a great job keeping things interesting.
     
    Thanks to the Twins organization and don't listen to the boo birds.
  14. 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.

    Also Parmelee can play 1b while Morneau plays DH while
    Willingham, Span, Revere play the outfield.
     
    There are other ways to do this, but it is easy enough to give all 7 players regular playing time.
     
    Given the fact that strains, twists, bumps, bruises and outright injuries will occur thoughout the year, Twins fans should not worry about giving all 7 players enough at bats.
