Look at those stats for that Mauer guy. I bet he'll be good.

I blame the summer sun here in Seattle. It's more difficult to project doom and gloom when it's not gray and drizzly outside.

No, agreed, but of late (last 3-4 years for sure) that seems to have changed. I think I heard in yesterday's game that Detroit just signed their #1.

Yeah I have a lot of trouble believing he'd come up and be worse than Livan. He'd have some rough outings (like he had 4 and 5 starts ago) but probably not as many as livan, and he'd acutally stike some guys out! Trade Livan for a Drew Buteraish prospect and lets move on.

Careful with that speculation, Nick. Lives are in the balance.

Anyone see the results of Liriano's outing tonight? 7 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 8 K. That's 20 scoreless frames in his past three starts, with 24 K, 3 BB, 10 H. Looks ready.

I suspect that Parmelee's name is going to be mispelled about eleventy bajillion times if he ever makes the bigs, but it might just be easier to spell his name R-O-B D-E-E-R.

Ubes, you've been bringing the funny at a major league (type) level. Content with mirth--I approve.

(I might also have to fit my screen for a splash-guard.)

maybe, since it was his first start he was on a pitch limit

The Twins haven't ALWAYS gotten their signing done early. Yep, it's nice that Revere is hitting. Now, let's get him in the weight room and put some muscle on him.

I think he's had a lot of errors and there seems to be a consensus that he has a total noodle for an arm. I'd guess that his defense is probably a big reason the Twins have yet to promote him. If he can hit .400, though, he can be a corner OF for all I care.

I've always admired the Twins' push to get the contracts done quickly for the young signees and getting them plugged in right away. And it's great to see Revere doing well; although there was a lot of teeth-gnashing over how high the Twins selected him, it's nice he's proving that he was at least a good pick to make. Any idea how his glove work has been?

I saw Hicks' numbers and was quite pleased. Hopefully he can continue to do it as pitching improves as he moves up the chain.

I also saw that Shooter Hunt started his first game for Elizabethton. 3 IP 0 hits 0 walks 6 Ks! 0 runs

Not sure why he only went 3 innings. Don't see anything about an injury or anything. But 2 Ks per inning. Wow.
