... games at each position. Then I took out the wins for the Twins top 5 starters and Nathan, since Slowey and Perkins combined for 187 innings. That left an incredible 11.6 wins from the remaining Twins. The rest of the bullpen alone was worth 6.6 wins (more than the whole bench on any other team), that's how incredibly dominant they were throughout the regular season. Joe Rauch's rock solid...

If we can get those four back healthy, that's as good as any trade we can make, or any signing we can make."Slowey went 10-3 with a 4.86 ERA before undergoing season-ending wrist surgery. Perkins went 12-4...

... during the off-season. I have to believe that only three spots (Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn, Kevin Slowey) are locked down. • It sounds like Ron Gardenhire wouldn’t mind bringin back Orlando Cabrera as the team’s second baseman next season, but it seems highly unlikely the front office would follow through on that. • The Orioles claimed Armando Gabino off waivers. •...

... of taking Ron Gardenhire for granted are over. The Twins played half their schedule without Kevin Slowey and minus 2006 AL MVP Justin Morneau from September 12 forward. Minnesota went 17-4 in the absence of Johnny Canuck and caught the Detrot Tigers to claim a division championship to close out the Teflon Confines. Again, Gardenhire’s fifth Central title. Look, by no means am I suggesting...

Pavano gave up a lot of hits this year, but his BABIP of .330 was 22 points higher than his career average and 31 points higher than the major league average.

While speaking with Joe Christensen of The Star Tribune, Twins' GM Bill Smith may have tipped his hand regarding the team's offseason plans. "We'll see what's out there," he said. "And if there's a veteran starter or two that's a good fit for us, then we'll proceed accordingly." The team is already returning at least five young starters, and that isn't counting Kevin Slowey's...

Seth Stoh 's presents an argument for the Twins to attempt to sign Florida Marlins ace Josh Johnson. Do I think that this is a good idea? For the right money, I do.
