Twins update: Trade winds, Liriano, Everett

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:17:52 +1900

A few Twins tidbits for your off-day reading pleasure: (*) I spoke to several baseball officials today but continue to pick up very little trade buzz around the Twins. One week to the non-waiver trade deadline, and if I had to guess now, I’d say they won’t make a deal. A late-inning relief specialist seems like the [...]

Are the Twins Focused on Winning; Then Where is Francisco Liriano? | On Deck Circle | FanBoom Sports Blog Network

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:28:37 +1900

The next Johan Santana had a terrible start to the 2008 season. I should know; I drafted him. When Liriano was sent down to the minors, I had to cut him because my league has no bench. I picked him up over the All-Star break expecting him to be called up, but he is still sitting down in the minors. Why?

Liriano turns in dominating performance | TwinsBaseball.com: News

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:12:53 +1900

NEW YORK -- The Twins' front office has said repeatedly that they want to see left-hander Francisco Liriano dominate at Triple-A Rochester before he returns to Minnesota. And while Liriano might not be happy that he's still in the Minors, he's doing everything to prove he deserves to be back with the big league club. Liriano delivered perhaps his best start of the season for Rochester on ...

Glen Perkins Has Selective Memory

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:46:00 +1900

Minnesota Twins second baseman Alexi Casilla has been somewhat of an unsung hero for the surprising Twins this season. He didn't play his first game of the season for Minnesota until May 11th, but since joining the team Casilla is hitting .323/.360/.438 with 38 runs driven in. Another player who's been performing well but under the radar in Minnesota is starter Glen Perkins . Much like ...

DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Updated Wednesday, July 23rd 2008, 6:02 PM Mike Mussina was only steps from the Yankee dugout after the eighth inning when he looked up into the stands and doffed his cap at the throng of Yankee fans who were standing and cheering. It's a rare moment, Mussina says, when you walk off the mound feeling as good about your pitching as the folks in the seats. Mussina knew ...

New York Yankees: It's Just Melky Being Manny, I Suppose

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:22:36 +1900

I'm just glad that George Steinbrenner didn't live to see this. Apparently there's a tradition at Yankee Stadium where a group of fans called the Bleacher Creatures chant out each player's name in the first inning. The player usually acknowledges this; but not during a play. Oh, Melky Cabrera . You crazy nut. Wizard Cat gives this play: 0 wands. In case no one's noticed, the Yankees are the ...

Jason Kubel has hit left-handed pitching about as well as Jacque Jones

.217/.305/.319 -- Jason Kubel vs. LHP, career .230/.278/.350 -- Jacque Jones vs. LHP, career Kubel's line is slightly less awful than Jacque's line, but both lines are still awful. I like Jason Kubel. I think he can hit right-handed pitching and this team could use a cheap DH/OF to use against RHP. However, Kubel hasn't done [...]
