Francisco Liriano trade rumors

Via isportsweb.com  |  July 02, 2012
Minnesota Twins pitcher Francisco Liriano is a hot name on the trade rumor mill. A quick look at his 2012 season bears a striking resemblance to his career stats. His start on July 1st against the Royals was a 4 walk, 4 run no decision. In his previous two starts he logged 13.1 innings, surrendered 2 runs and 4 walks, while striking out 11. In 2006 and 2010, Liriano was dominating...

Burnett key to Twins' consistent bullpen

Via Fox Sports North  |  July 02, 2012
If any player has been underrated for the Minnesota Twins this season, it very well may be reliever Alex Burnett. The last time the right-handed Burnett gave up a run was May 23. He extended that scoreless streak to 16 total innings by tossing 1-13 shutout innings in the Twins' 6-4 win Monday in Detroit. Burnett entered Monday's game with two outs in the seventh inning...

MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota's Darin Mastroianni hasn't gotten much playing time since being called up by the Twins in early May, but the speedy outfielder has now been in the starting lineup the last three games. Mastroianni started in left field for the first game of Saturday's double-header and was then starting in right field for the nightcap. One day later, Mastroianni...

Trevor Plouffe: A Something to Enjoy in Minnesota

The reader may very well be totally and irretrievably drunk at the moment, but it’s not for that reason that he’s seeing Trevor Plouffe‘s name near the top of the preceding [leaderboard].

Nishioka has become lost in the shuffle

Via Fox Sports North  |  July 03, 2012
With the way Minnesota's infield has played this year, Tsuyoshi Nishioka has quickly become a forgotten man in the Twins' organization. Instead of spending his second season in the United States playing for Minnesota, Nishioka is instead stuck at Triple-A Rochester, looking to bounce back from a disappointing debut season in 2011. After signing with the Twins as a heralded...

Francisco Liriano Is Back? And Other Starting Pitching Thoughts

Via Extra Pine Tar  |  July 02, 2012
Francisco Liriano is back? That’s what people keep saying. All these different fantasy baseball “guru’s” have been pumping Liriano to the point that he’s the most added starting pitcher in ESPN leagues. He had three quality starts in a row, and since returning to the starting rotation has clearly been better than he was earlier in the season, but back? I don’t think so...

Game 2012.82: Twins at Tigers

Via Tigers Weblog  |  July 04, 2012
39-42, 3rd place, 4.5 games back. Happy Independence Day everyone. The Twins are now 4-0 at Comerica this year. In a season which began with sky high expectations, the Tigers arrive at the midway point 3 games under .500 with little reason to believe that the second 81 will be much better. Last night’s game was a microcosm of the season. Two Santiago errors led to 5 unearned runs...
