Jon Heyman is reporting that the Twins have made a 3 year offer to Ervin Santana. But for now he still prefers the 1 year deals. Heyman says it may take a few days to sort itself out.

there's no excuse to let one of our (and i'm using the term loosely) assets go to a division rival. none. even if his season is ready for an implosion. no excuse.

Easy 1, 2, 3 inning for Duffy.

Nice. Getting fisted by Colorado.

Duffy already has TJ... Until DM produces ONE major league starter (something he has not done) color me skeptical.

This is an all in year, no matter what DM says....

Also, why are we suddenly depending on young pitchers a year after trading away our best position prospect in a generation for two year rental starter? Why didn't we depend on these types of gambles last year and keep Myers? Oh because DM didn't have a contract extension....that is why. JS got us over .500 and got DM his money.
Zimmer is shut down? Did I miss something?

Unless he knows Zimmer and is breaking news, nope. Its hard to make sense of most of that incoherent bunch of babbling.

Zimmer got shutdown last year due to shoulder soreness. Which is really NBD.

Kidd Lex 03-09-2014 09:01 PM
Jfc, thought something happen to Zimmer. Smdh

Zimmer is not shut down. They are starting him slowly this year because he's on an innings limit and they are going to delay ramping it up a little bit so he's not at his innings limit and shut down in September.

He had a tender elbow last august, then again this spring. It is worrisome.

Not a surprise, but Dwyer will be optioned to Omaha.

The Royals view Chris Dwyer as one of their top 2 options to fill a rotation void early in the year. The other is loser of Duffy v. Ventura.

Rany pointed out a worrying downside to not having a backup middle infielder that I hadn't considered. Its fine to say that Escobar can start every day and that you'll just dial Omaha whenever needed, but if we don't have a backup, then Escobar has to finish every game.

If he bounces back and hits like 2012 thats fine, but if Escobar repeats his crappy 2013 season, then our opponent could take advantage of that late in the game, walking someone to get to Escobar knowing that Yost won't pinch-hit for him.

The Braves are now in on Santana. They didn't want to give up their draft pick for him, but they already lost one pitcher recently, and a 2nd Brave pitcher got hurt today.

I don't think we will sign him for spite.

Wow, Kris Medlen with a right forearm strain as the early diagnosis. He's already been Tommy John'd once a few years ago. They are going to be hurtin' for pitching.
