Isn't Kenny Rogers a free agent again? If so, it's not sure thing they'll retain him as well. I've been reading that the Twins odds of resigning Stewart are getting worse by the day.

Blyleven was on the Score yesterday. Kenny Rogers is a free agent.

Tally so far:

 

--Twins lose by far their best reliever Hawkins.

--Twins lose their best starter Santana.

--Twins lose an AS catcher Pirzinski, who gave Sox fits both with his bat and smart game-calling.

--Twins are still going to lose Stewart because he wants to play in the big market and will comment crazy dollars.  Even if they keep him, provided Sox quickly get out of the gate in 2004, Twins will be forced to dump him at the break.

--Twins lose their BEST pitcher in 2002 in Milton, the guy who can dominate when healthy.  Since his 2003 injury was not back/shoulder/elbow related, there is no reason he wouldn't have continued to dominate us in 2004.

--Twins lose Sox killer Mays to too many injurues. His Sox Killer'ness is not just trivia-- each game against your opponent counts as two.

 

If Jerry doesn't see that this is a truly a pathetic division and doesn't try to do his BEST (I mean every possible option, including going into red ) in the next 3 years, the he should sell the team and not bother since he will not have many fans left beyond that.

Did Santana blow out his arm? I thought He and Radke would be as solid a one-two as there was. Those two carried the Twins to the division.

Out of curiousity does anyone know anything about this Silva kid? Rex or MN have either of you seem him? Or if anyone else knows anything I would be curious to hear it.

Says it was "Minor" Surgery

 

As was Danny Wright's, Angel Guzman's....Hell, I remember Rauch's was said to be no biggie.

 

 

 

Guess who won't have same tantalizing screwball and old velocity/break when he gets back?

I am going to give my question a little bump...
