Twins

The Twins decided to put Vance Worley on waivers.

As readers of this blog will realize, he had no problem clearing those waivers. No one wanted him.

What is surprising is that they assigned him to Triple A Rochester. All of their Triple A starters are better than him, too. His skills are better suited for Double A.

Just so he's nowhere NEAR the major league roster I'm happy.

With Sam Deduno now targeted to the bullpen for the beginning of the season, that leaves the fifth spot in the rotation going to either Kyle Gibson OR Scott Diamond. Since both are out of options, the loser of that duel will be leaving the Twins. Both are way more desirable than Worley.

IF the Twins trade Correia unexpectedly in the next couple of days (and it COULD happen) the Twins will keep both. They don't really want to lose either.

Looking at the schedule, guess which team has the TOUGHEST schedule for the first 40 games of the season?

If you guessed the Twins you would be right. 31 of the first 40 games are against teams with with winning records last year. No other team even comes close.

It's also looking more and more that the Twins will keep only ONE Jason. It's either Kubel OR Bartlett. It's not both. Though it may still be neither. Chris Colabello is out of options, too, and the Twins MAY still pick him over Kubel.

Of course. all of this fretting is just foolish. There's a good chance the Twins won't win more than 65 games this year no matter who is on the roster.


It's not like any of them are really good.
